[comp.sys.next] sendmail problems

owen@gt-eedsp.UUCP (Owen Adair) (02/16/89)

We're trying to send mail from one next to another to no avail. Seems to 
work different than our 4.3 systems and I'm not sure what's wrong. What
I really want to know from the net is - Has anyone got it working between 
machines? If so, did you have to make one machine a 'master'?

Thanks! (I'm having a great time working with these beasts....beta software
not withstanding!)

All of sudden, one day (well, Feb 1 to be exact) our sendmail daemon
(still running) decided to stop -- well -- sending mail. Stuff just
queues up, with an "X" in the second mailq column.

Killing and restarting sendmail has no effect. Cleaning up the queue
has (you guessed it) no effect. And telnetting to our machine on
port 25 (the SMTP port) yields a timeout, as if sendmail isn't waiting
there for us at all.

Is this at all common? Does anyone have a clue? We don't.
