FWIW, you have some unnecessary information in your DNS. You have 2 MX entries: [egreshko@gangster tmp]$ host -t mx gc-site.hopto.org gc-site.hopto.org mail is handled by 5 mail.gc-site.hopto.org. gc-site.hopto.org mail is handled by 10 gc-site.hopto.org. but.... [egreshko@gangster tmp]$ host mail.gc-site.hopto.org mail.gc-site.hopto.org has address 67.34.177.240 and [egreshko@gangster tmp]$ host gc-site.hopto.org gc-site.hopto.org has address 67.34.177.240 Are the same..... So, if my system has mail for you and your system is down or not reachable it will try mail.gc-site.hopto.org (fail) and gc-site.hopto.org (still fail becuase it is the same).....which is unnecessary. > > How do i go about fixing this ?? > > > On Wed, 2004-09-22 at 17:30, Jeff wrote: > > On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 16:06:37 -0400, Jason Dixon wrote: > > > On Sep 22, 2004, at 4:02 PM, Damien Estrada wrote: > > > > > > > > >> But when i was running under Windows 2000 Advanced Server with > > >> the same setting i have now ( except new SMTP and POP Servers ) > > >> it was working great.

Not sure how many IPs you have or if they're static, but both mail.gc-site.hopto.org and gc-site.hopto.org both point to the same IP so you probably have 1 external IP. > > > > Things to check... > > > > -Is sendmail listening on your LAN/external IP (i.e. not just 127.0.0.1).
