Email issues, relay failure, perhaps Jails is causing it.

[Bender, Chris]

Hello

Can anybody assist me with pfctl on freebsd?
I have pfctl running as adaptive. It is blocking some smtp mail. 
I am uncertain about flushing the states or machining some of the 
TIMEWAITING constraints go away. Which is really blocking my email.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks

Here is about jails;

http://www.uk.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails.html

Have you tried to telnet into the other jailed hostnames and
ip-addresses, like telnet rt3.* 25

What does it say? Can you connect?

There seems to be either a jail problem or a routing problem

You can look at your routing table with netstat -r
