sendmail

[Ahmed Mohamed]

As a new member to this group I say hi to everyone.

I have a problem with sendmail. I am setting up a mail server at home and
I am using Fedora 6 with sendmail  version sendmail-8.13.8-2. I succeeded
receiving mail from
outside but I am unable to send outside mail (SMTP problem?). The following
is the output generated
by the mail log daemon:



Jan 14 22:19:53 champion sendmail[9314]: l0F35q7u009312: to=<
ajmoham at gmail.com>, ctladdr=<root at champion.dheef.com> (0/0), delay=00:14:01,
xdelay=00:14:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=120371, relay=gsmtp163.google.com. [
64.233.163.27], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with
gsmtp163.google.com.

xdelay=00:14:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=210371, relay=gsmtp163.google.com. [
64.233.163.27], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with
gsmtp163.google.com.

A similar output is generated to all other public mail services like yahoo,
hotmail, etc.

any ideas how to solve it?  I appreciate your assistance.



Thank you.
