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: tcpserver: ok but for some reason, it takes a long time to deliver that test email. 3-5 minutes... to show up in my inbox.. Also, I just tried to telnet to port 25 and do the smtp commands and it was just hanging: telnet my-server 25 Trying <my ip>... Connected to <my domain>. Escape character is '^]'.
