Your earlier email indicates that to solve the mail/mailx between machines, I need comment out that line in sendmail.mc and I will get the results you indicated. Sure worth a try, let me give it a go. Yes, I agree that one needs to filter multiple suggestions and I already indicated that I kinda mangled the multi-tasking of those parallel threads. Yesterday and today have been trying to tie up the loose ends. I am not longer certain whether the telnet testing failure is a blocker to getting mail between machines. But it still remains a mystery to me why I can't tell iptables "you like telnet / port 23 inside your LAN".
