Dear all I am having a problem in sending mails using Dialup (PPP) connections. I will explain the setup. I had configured a mail server in my office using Linux sendmail and Redhat 9, which handles the complete intranet and mails to internet.Now i am facing a problem in which i am not able to send mails to very few domains, like rediffmail.com for eg: root# telnet mail1.rediffmail.com 25 Trying mail1.rediffmail.com Closing connection of mail1.rediffmail.com Trying mail2.rediffmail.com Closing connection of mail1.rediffmail.com Trying mail2.rediffmail.com Closing connection of mail2.rediffmail.com ... Connection Closed by Foreign host root# This is the problem. But i am able to telnet to ther hosts like yahoo.com, hotmail.com etc. The solution i found in the internet was either recompile kernel with CONFIG_INET_ECN = N or sysctl by /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn with 0 which allows ECN support to be disabled at runtime.Redhat 2.4 kernel comes with ecn enabled , but 2.2 kernel works fine. I tried out the above options but i was not able to send mails to rediffmail.com. My server is refusing this on a dialup connection through VSNL. But i am able send mails to rediffmail.com from the same setup with a DSL or Cable internet connection. Thanks in advance. Regds Narayanan Subramaniam Techncial Head Focuz Infotech, Cochin, India
