Re: Mail Problem, pls help
 

First, you were careful enough to remove your domain name, but left the real IP address in there.

Waiting for protocol initiation...

What protocols are you running? LDAP, POP3, IMAP? What client is he using? What MTA is he using? Sendmail, Qmail, Postfix?

The time-out is coming from a protocol request. What protocol is he using, which are you running, and you can add the one he needs...

Luck,

Cheers,
