Hi - hoping someone can offer some help / advice with the above. I have an
old qmail server running on Sun hardware that uses maildirsmtp to send mail
to a customers "Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service" which has been working fine
for years.

I needed to migrate this onto new hardware but using Centos 5.0, the server
is setup in the exact same way, same configs, same IP's etc. but the
maildirsmtp fails with the following error BUT only for this 1 customer out
of about 100 or so other mail servers that I send mail to:

serialsmtp: fatal: network read error: timed out
serialsmtp: fatal: network read error: timed out
serialsmtp: fatal: network read error: timed out
maildirserial: fatal: making no progress, giving up

The command run is: (well I've amended the domain name & IP a bit)

maildirsmtp ~vpopmail/domains/whatever.co.uk/smtp/Maildir/ ""
2xx.1xx.2xx.1xx 10.10.10.134

If I telnet to the IP in question on port 25 I can successfully send a test
email which is received, I've had a google for this error and although
several results were returned nothing really helped. Running a tcpdump
whilst the maildirsmtp is running also shows communication between the two
hosts but I'm now at a loss as to why this doesn't work.

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Julian.
