Connection refused

[Darryl DeLao]

There is no indication in the logs that something is wrong.  I can not
telnet to the server, and when I flush out my other mail server, which has
messages qued up, it says connection deferred, not accepting connections.
There is no firewall running on the server itself.

Exactly *what* do you mean by connections are no longer allowed? Do you 
mean that if you, say, "telnet yourmailserver.com 25" you get a message 
saying "Connection not allowed"?

>>> Everything is being deferred.  Any ideas?

Exactly *what* do you mean by everything is being deferred? Do you mean 
that if you, for example, check /var/log/maillog, you get something like:

Jan 24 10:16:05 yourmailserver sendmail[22098]: k0OFFoEd022891: 
from=<whoever at whatever.com>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, 
daemon=MTA-v6, relay=... never mind, I'm deferring everything! MWAHAHAHAH!!!
