[LUNI] Mail question

[Richard Reina]

Boby,

Thank you very much for the reply.  I did what you
suggested unfortunately, however I am still getting
the same result. Here's exactly what I did:

mail -s TEST richard at rushlogistics.com  <return>
this is test <return>
. <return>
cc: richard at rushlogistics.com <return>

and I never receive the email and the log says this:

Aug  6 04:25:20 localhost sendmail[7868]:
k75IW5nx003947: to=<richard at rushlogistics.com>,
ctladdr=<richard at localhost.localdomain> (500/500),
delay=14:53:15, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp,
pri=1380407, relay=mx5.biz.mail.yahoo.com., dsn=4.0.0,
stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with
mx5.biz.mail.yahoo.com.

Thank you very much for the help thus far.  Any
additional help would be greatly appreciated.

Richard
