Problems receiving mail

[jdjurici]

Hi there folks,

I have one BIG problem, I can't receive mail from the outside world, but the strangest problem is that sometimes it passes and user receives it...

now I have set up the system accordig to the open suse 10 +perfect ISP...

Everything was acctually fine until yesterday when everything stopped...

I didn't sleep much so there's gotta be something I'm missing ...

thank you... Josip

Well here comes an update to a problem....

it seems like the mail eventually passes trough but it comes an hour or two after it's sent...

have no idea anymore...

[falko]

Any errors in your mail log?

[jdjurici]

Hi, thanks for reply, here I'll post logs so you can go trough them

There' gotta be something but as I said Im too sleepy...my eyes will fall out

hope you see it...

[falko]

It's easier for us if you post some excerpts of the mail log here instead of attaching a zip file which we must download, unzip, open, ...

[jdjurici]

Thanks for the reply's falco, at the end I have already 'solved' the problem...as I thought it wasn't really the problem with my server but rather a problem with our provider over which we have internet connection....after running dozens of traces, and showing them results they have fixed the problem...

Anyway I thank you for your replies....It's nice to know that there are always ppl that want to help...
