Hello,
I've been unable to get sendmail to send mail properly and am hoping
someone can give some advice. My internet connection is fine; I can use
ssh, http, etc. without any trouble. My machine connects to a a router
which is connected to a cable modem:
aleph# netstat -r
Routing tables
Internet:

I can't send any mail though. The first entries in my mail queue:
i22K75of000208 3 Tue Mar 2 15:07 <justin at aleph.none.org>
(Deferred: Operation timed out with math.umd.edu.)
<brody at math.umd.edu>
i22K6mof000198 5 Tue Mar 2 15:06 <justin at aleph.none.org>
(Deferred: Operation timed out with math.umd.edu.)
<brody at math.umd.edu>
And lots more like it. I can telnet to math.umd.edu port 25 just fine.
I've also tried sending to other addresses and using '-f' to set my return
address. That unfortunately exhausts my knowledge of sendmail!
I'd greatly appreciate any help! I browsed some on the internet and saw
that someone once had a similar problem with his hostname being set
incorrectly. I wasn't sure how to look at that though...
Thanks,
Justin Brody
