    (already posted to comp.mail.sendmail - hoping to speed things up by posting here)

    I wonder if someone could log an smtp connection to this server and give me
    some hint as to what's going on (or tell from this error snippet):

    <begin error snippet>
      Your message has been enqueued and undeliverable for 1 day
      to the following recipients:

        Recipient address: info@thedomaininquestion.com
        Reason: unable to deliver this message after 1 day
        Recipient address: reg@thedomaininquestion.com
        Reason: unable to deliver this message after 1 day

      Delivery attempt history for your mail:

      Sun, 19 Oct 2003 23:18:09 -0600 (MDT)
      TCP active open: Failed connect() Error: Connection refused
    <end error snippet>

    The domain is dateomatic.ca (mail.dateomatic.ca).
    One legitimate user is maria.
    Another is info which maps to dominfo.

    I'm also curious what an invalid user, such as "goofy", shows.

    There were quite a few of the "Failed connect() Error: Connection
    refused" errors because of the retries so I've tried a bunch of test sends
    but none have bounced back (or made it through) yet. (tried yesterday).

    When I telnet in on port 25 everything works as expected - no errors.

    But when I send mail from a shaw.ca or yahoo.com or hotmail.com or telus.net
    account it doesn't come through. Unfortunately I can't log what those folks
    smtp sessions do nor can I find any errors about this in /var/log,
    /var/mail, or /etc/mail.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Shannon
