If it is getting the correct IP address then DNS resolution is working. Next concern would be routing - do you have issues connecting to other systems? You can try "traceroute mailserver" on both systems and compare the results. If routing is good, is it possible the mailserver is blocking your IP for some reason? -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
