sendmail - Connection timed out [dsn=4.0.0 stat=Deferred: Connection timed out]
 

Hello,

having a problem with sendmail

I can get jobs submitted to the queue fine

log:
Apr 24 12:38:04 CRE_DB sendmail[30291]: l3OBc1mh030291: to=anno@hotmail.com, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:03, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30012, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (l3OBc4WW030293 Message accepted for delivery)

but i get a timed error after some time

Apr 24 12:50:04 CRE_DB sendmail[30295]: l3OBc4WW030293: to=<anno@hotmail.com>, ctladdr=<root@localhost.localdomain> (0/0), delay=00:12:00, xdelay=00:12:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=30316, relay=mx1.hotmail.com. [65.54.245.8], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with mx1.hotmail.com.


I think its not going outside my network because when I do a hello i get:

HELO hotmail.com
250 localhost.localdomain Hello localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you


is this correct?

netstat gives me the following

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
