Sendmail & MailScanner - can't connect from public addresses {solved}

[James D. Parra]

Thank you. This was a routing issue. We changed IP addresses on this server
and the routing table was rewritten after every reboot.

Editing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup did the trick.

I see these types of problems a lot here at work whenever someone sets up a
new *nix machine (especially SCO or Solaris). You might want to make sure
that there's a default route set up in your IP routing table.
