Hi Paul,
What is happening is mail is coming from machine A--àsent to a middle
machine*X* which I think is acting as a delivery machine(as I see
postfix as a processes) which iisn't the recipient of the mail just
Deliverer. It is also a jails machine. Anyway the logs on system A say
the following when sending a mail to me through X.
Feb 25 13:04:17 ccl_imagpsm sendmail[25091]: q1OFs7e0007106:
to=<chris.ben...@cell.com>, ctladdr=<build@ccl_imagpsm.wms.cell.com>
(500/500), delay=21:10:07, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=4080533,
relay=tools2.wms.cell.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed
out with tools2.wms.cell.com.
I did a tcp dump on system X and I did see packets coming in and out
from X on port 25 but nothing came in on the maillog.
Ok, i don't know Postfix so someone else might have to pick up here.
It sounds like there might be a local mailer (submission queue) running
on X, but not SMTP. The message from A was that it couldn't connect to
X. (Deferred: Connection timed out with tools2.wms.cell.com)
what do you get if you try telnetting from A to X
telnet tools2.wms.cell.com 25
(if you get a connection, good, try following these instructions to send
a mail manually via telnet) http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html
If not, have you tried restarting postfix on X?
Paul.

Hi, I am responsible for a system I know little about.
Sendmail all of a sudden stopped working...the sendmial is supposed to
send to another machine.
Check /var/log/maillog on both boxes,
you should see a log message on the origin machine and the onward
machine of the form
(I've replaced actual names with CAPS)
Feb 25 10:37:32 SERVER1 sm-mta[74139]: q1OIevSE033413-*MSGID*:

[X.X.86.167], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Operation timed out with [SERVER]
What does the Stat say on the first box, if its anything other than
Sent Ok, then it'll say why. ( deferred, refused etc).
Check the logs on the 2nd server for the same message.
Post extracts from both boxes if you need further help
good luck
Paul.
