Got it, it was the spam checking I had in the smtp run script: rblsmtpd -r relays.osirusoft.com \ For some reason, I'm having a hard time connecting to that server sometimes. I'm hoping that was it. When I send emails from different places, it now comes through right away. Also, the smtp.monitor

But I don't understand how it can be a dns issue when I can connect to the port with no problem. It's just not giving me back the correct smtp response. After I posted the last message, it's now giving me the [220 ESMTP] line when I telnet to port 25. It's like it goes to sleep once in a while a

Well, now I have to figure out what a DF bit is... I use a linksys wirless router for my router. How would I remove the DF bit on my router? I see the request coming into the qmail-smtp/current file. What I do notice when I do a tail on the smtp file is when an email first comes in, I see the: t
