With tcpdump running and telnetting to port 25 of that address I see:

12:37:54.262380 ubr1-pos1-0.mirnd1.nsw.optushome.com.au > dog.eschle.com: icmp: host 
co3018450-a.mirnd1.nsw.optushome.com.au unreachable - admin prohibited filter 
Offending pkt: [|tcp] (DF) (ttl 42,
id 61644) (ttl 231, id 521)

and according to tracroute, it's the last host vefore the destination
who sends that:

21  r1-pos0-0-0.rivrw1.nsw.excitehome.net.au (203.164.3.26)  657 ms  549 ms  535 ms
22  ubr1-pos1-0.mirnd1.nsw.optushome.com.au (203.164.3.146)  550 ms  562 ms  563 ms
23  co3018450-a.mirnd1.nsw.optushome.com.au (203.164.92.195)  571 ms  580 ms  577 ms

So whoever maintains ubr1-pos1-0.mirnd1.nsw.optushome.com.au (203.164.3.146)
has probably put in some filtering there during the last few days.

ac.d4a.net is being announced in the DNS as 203.164.92.195. Is that
correct?
I can't get a connection to port 25 on that machine -- something is
dropping the packets. Might somebody have applied an access list to a
router of yours, or perhaps your upstream ISP has put an access list in
place?

the domain is ac.d4a.net. I am just really confused because it only happened over new 
years eve, and the computer running qmail was not even touched over that period. it 
worked flawlessly before then

thanks for your help
Justin

Hi,

It seems that something is blocking incoming SMTP traffic to your 
mail server. The warning messages you mention should give some clue 
as to what's happening.
Do you have a firewall? Is it recording dropped/denied traffic? Is your
upstream ISP blocking you?

What domain are you trying to receive mail for?

qmail pop no longer works

2001-01-03 Thread Justin Cunningham

Ok this is wierd. after new years eve, i can no longer receive mail that is sent to me 
remotely through my qmail server. i.e i can send myself and others on my network 
email, but noone can receive mail that is sent from elsewhere on the net, the mail 
just does not show up, and the person that sends it gets those "warning: message 
undelivered for 4 hours" type messages

i know i didnt change anything in my setup because i was away for new years. has 
anyone else had this? i can send (smtp) to remote comps perfectly fine, just not 
receive. any ideas?

cheers
Justin
