Now, I've been hunting this beast for the last two days. I've called my ISP (they are very security aware and do weird things with their networks), but to no avail. If they cut the SMTP connections, xmail would complain. Would anyone have any ideas on this ? Did you check the logs, spool, frozen messages ? Oh ! BTW, if I telnet to the other smtp server directly from the xmail box (shell) and write a message (telnet mail.blah.com 25 , MAIL FROM: RCPT TO: etc.), the message gets delivered. So, I think it _must_ be sometihng on my mailserver side. again, maybe DNS doesn't work.

If you have logging enabled (commandline: -Pl -Sl ... all the -.l stuff) you should see the logs in $MAILROOT/logs As for frozen messages, there's loads but I don't know how to access them. I can only see they exist. cd $MAILROOT/spool find . -type f |grep froz again, maybe DNS doesn't work. Again, I ping mail servers on the outside world (or anything else for that reason) and it comes back with their respective IP addresses. No packets, but that's logical since xmail sits behind a linux iptables firewall in the DMZ. ??? maybe I'm a bit slow today ... you do 'ping www.xmailserver.org' and get what ?

If you don't get ICMP echo reply packets, adjust your firewall ! Several services rely on ICMP replys. Routing for instance.

It's actually the first time I've setup a box to do multiple domain mail handling and it seems it does the trick :-) However, there is one little thing bugging me; If I try to send to anyone in the world (from the inside to the outside), it never gets delivered. Not even postmaster message (message undelivered, will keep trying etc.). Make sure the XMail sendmail server is running. For example if your Slackware install included postfix as it's default mail agent it may be binding to the smtp port and blocking the XMail agent from starting up. If you start XMail in debug you should see the XMail sendmail server start up. Otherwise, check for a sendmail or postfix process and disable it so it won't start up on boot (or better yet, unistall it).
