Okay, sorry, just trying to get the picture in my head. So you send a mail |
| 14 |
from the gentoo box TO the same gentoo box, what happens? In other |
| 15 |
words,you have a nonroot user "bob" and as root on that box you say "mail -s |
| 16 |
test bob" and send it that way, what happens? Bear in mind, your isp might |
| 17 |
block outgoing port 25 traffic except to it's servers. If that's the case, |
| 18 |
you'll have to put their smtp server in as your gateway. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
If you can send email from root on box to nonroot on box, make another |
| 21 |
client (windows or not) use that box for smtp and send email to nonroot |
| 22 |
users on box. If that works, we know smtp on that box is listening on |
| 23 |
localhost and on other addresses, and is willing to accept email. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Then try telnet jolet.net 25 |
| 26 |
If you hang, your isp is blocking that traffic. Nothing you can do except |
| 27 |
bitch and make them your gateway. My co-worker had the same problem with |
| 28 |
sbc. |
