Topic: ESSG 4.1.2 can't send mail with DYNDNS

[Marco Ranieri]

Hello all. I have a problem with an ESSG 4.1.2 server set up to use Dynamic DNS (dyndns.org). All users can receive mail, but can't send.

I checked the mail log and this is what I got:

____________________________________________________________________

Reasons for deferral

One line per reason for deferral. Information on each line:
* del is the number of deliveries that ended for this reason.
* xdelay is the total xdelay on those deliveries.

 del     xdelay  reason
   3      55.41  Sorry, I couldn't find any host by that name. (#4.1.2)/
2739  299533.70  Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)/

End of Report

Obviously, the server can't establish outbound SMTP connections, why? Any ideas? It did work up until a coupe of days ago...

Thanks.
