Have you actually installed an MTA? Try rpm -q sendmail postfix exim ssmtp esmtp and see what that returns. The Fedora default is still sendmail, I believe, but I’d recommend one of the others if you want to play with it. Have you checked /var/log/maillog to see if there’s anything relevant in there? What does dig +short -t mx gmail.com return? What if you replace gmail.com with def.com (or whichever domain you’re trying to reach?) Finally, it may not be you. If you are on a domestic (or cheap business) Internet connection, and your @def.com isn’t on the same connection, then it’s quite possible that you’re being blocked – because you’re making a connection from a dynamic IP address, or an IP address that’s listed as one that shouldn’t send e-mail directly. See http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl for more details (there are other blocklists out there, but Spamhaus is the most widely used). I’d note that your e-mail headers claim that your e-mail came from 207.22.49.17, dsl.netis.mv.com, which isn’t on any widely-used blocklists. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | "Minis on the other hand are just the wrong size.
