There are some domains which can never send mail to my mail server. It
reports mail server timeout in the log file.

Anyone can help!

Cheers

Peter

I think it's a timeout problem *duh* Could you be a little more
specific in what goes wrong from where to where?

The following is extracted from the log file /var/log/mail.log. The
sender from gxxxxt.fr try in vain sending email to our server
xxxxxxxxx.com.

Aug 12 21:30:38 server sendmail[3753]: f7xxxxxx3753:

bodytype=8BITMIME, proto=ESMTP,
daemon=MTA, relay=[195.115.183.66]
Aug 12 21:30:38 server sendmail[3753]: f7xxxxxx3753:

pri=30000, stat=timeout waiting for input during message collect

We are using sendmail-8.11.0-3mdk on Mandrake 7.1. Only some sites
have this timeout problem,
others work ok.

regards,

The question is, what does the bounce message show on the sending end, or
is this just somebody fishing to verify e-mail addresses for a spam list?
