Thread-topic: SMPTD not responding on connect, from SOME servers.
Hello, thanks for your answer. But it didn't get me in the clear.
The page give some help, but where do I specify this things? I'm running
it on a debian box with qmail running under xinetd, and cant find
tcpserver installed?

I've also just made a complete reinstallation of this system. Erase hard
disks and just a basic config, and still got this problem. (Other
distribution, new qmail, small config). And I still got this problem,
seems to be something wrong with the networks?

I'd bet the DNS server you are using has problems reverse resolving the
IP address of the connecting hosts.
Read  http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html

I'd recommend setting the -R -H -P and -l <localhostname> flags.
