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 script works now. Thanks for the advise all. I know our main dns is kinda hosed and I bet this has something to do with it. --- Rick Romero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, 2004-07-21 at 12:18, Natter wrote: > > 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 <my domain> ESMTP] line when I telnet > > to port 25.
