That machine is about 1.5 hours away. I expect to work on it this weekend.
Would there be something relevant in the system log? I don't know - too
new to linux.
At a lower level, wireshark network analyzer might give you a clearer
picture, but also telnet mail.whomever.com 25 and then help can give you
an idea of whether there is anything blocking connection to the smtp
server {quit or ctrl-] to exit the telnet session}.
hmmm ... I might try telnet. Is that built into the terminal, or would I
have to install it?
