<0> Heya folks
<0> I'm having a problem where my box isn't able to receive mail from one particular domain. But its able to send to that domain and receive mail from several other domains
<0> Any advice on what it might be, or where I can find logging information? /var/log/maillog shows mail coming in and out, but nothing in the case of mail from the problem domain
<1> is the problem domain running qmail?
<0> I only have access to a webmail client on the problem domain
<1> send yourself an email and look at the headers
<0> I don't see any references to qmail in the headers
<1> do you a reference to a sendmail version?
<1> +see
<0> Hmm, no reference to either
<1> are you looking at the full headers?
<0> One sec.. I'll fiddle through and see if I can find anything else
<0> Okay, I can't find any reference to qmail or sendmail
<0> Just the webmail client that I'm using to send the mail
<1> when you send an email using the webclient to your problem domain, what's the reason for the delivery failure?
<0> I don't receive any notification of failure
<1> do you receive a bounced message?
<0> Nope, nothing
<1> so you send an email and it disappears?
<0> Yup
<0> The webmail client does record the mail as sent, though
<1> i see
<1> what operating system are you running on your problem email server?
<0> FreeBSD 6.0-release
<1> firewalled?
<0> Thats the one that isn't receiving the mail. The one that I'm sending from, I'm not sure what its running.
<0> Nope
<2> can you telnet to localhost port 25?
<0> Yup.. and it can receive mail from other hosts.. gmail.com, netscape.net and another domain that I control with a similar setup.
<0> Just not the problem domain.
<2> the problem domain can't even make a connection?
<0> Hmm, I'll try that. One sec
<0> Yup, telnet to port 25 works
<1> ok. i had to look up something
<1> do you know the ip address of the webclient?
<0> Anyone know the commands off hand that I can enter in the telnet to test the mail?
<1> you have shell access to the machine with the webclient?
<0> I do, yes
<1> then do this
<1> on freebsd: tcpdump -i tun0 -nn tcp port 25 | grep <ip address of webclient>
<1> replace tun0 with the interface routing to the internet
<1> then try to send yourself another email using the webclient and see if it even tries to deliver to your problem email server
<0> Kk
<0> Okay, tried a bunch of different things and nothing is coming up on the tcpdump
<3> It may be a good idea to ask the postmaster for help
<2> if you can connect then you should be fine
<2> on the machine from which you're having trouble, send a complete message
<2> if it fails, paste what gets logged when it tries
<1> sounds like a webclient issue
<1> not a sendmail one
<0> Whats the syntax for sending a message while telneting to port 25?
<1> telnet 0 25
<1> helo host.domain.tld
<1> mail from: <someone@somedomain.net>
<1> rcpt to: <otherperson@otherdomain.tld>
<1> data
<1> subject: this is a test
<1> this
<1> is
<1> a
<1> test
<1> .
<1> quit
<0> Thanks :)
<0> I'll try that, and then probably get in touch with the admin of the webmail box.
<1> when you type "help" at the telnet on port 25, what's the output?
<0> 214-2.0.0 This is sendmail version 8.13.4
<0> 214-2.0.0 Topics:
<0> <snip>
<1> looks like sendmail
<0> By using telnet, I was able to send a mail
<0> So it looks like a problem with the webmail server
<0> Thanks for the help guys :) Much appreciated
