Hi!

I installed sendmail in the two nodes of sb1 and tried sending emails
among them, but for some reason, the connection is refused by
mail.orbit-lab.org. do you know why?

the command line i use for testing is:

node1-1:~# echo "test"|sendmail root at node1-2.sb1.orbit-lab.org

and mailq says:

k9GG47pE003166        5 Mon Oct 16 12:04 <root at node1-1.sb1.orbit-lab.org>
                 (Deferred: Connection refused by mail.orbit-lab.org.)
                                         <root at node1-2.sb1.orbit-lab.org>


thanks!
