I have a serious mail problem....

Setup:
Debian 1.2.7
Kernel 2.0.27	
smail 3.2
netbase 2.09
netstd 2.12

We have inconsistant reciept of mail from outside....
local mail is fine, but from outside it's totally unpredictable if it'll
get through. We've heard that when mail to us bounces it's some sort of
cannot verify domainname or suchlike.

If I telnet to port 25 from outside I can send all the mail I want VIA
SMTP commands. so I know that the machine accepts mail OK.

Any suggestions at all would be welcome....

John F.

BTW, the machine I'm sending this from has no problems, so if you want to
send replies to me *as well* as posting them, then go ahead!
