I think I see your problem..... When you are testing you are using telnet smtp.auth.orange-business.com 587 But, when sendmail talks to sendmail (your system to orange) it is using port 25. I don't think there is a way to tell sendmail to use port 587 to connect to a remote server (MTA--->MTA). Port 587 is supposed to be used for MUA--->MTA communications. See RFC 6409. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6409 [root@f17 mail]# telnet smtp.auth.orange-business.com 25 Trying 194.2.0.87... telnet: connect to address 194.2.0.87: Connection timed out Is what you are seeing..... To verify this, you can simply run something like wireshark on your system and capture packets between you system and smtp.auth.orange-business.com to see what destination port is set. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
