Hi g00r00,

On 2017-06-26 15:34:15, you wrote to me:

The tcp/ip connection is first made, then dropped. A "normal" firewall just
wouldn't allow the connection to be made. That's were the confusion in the
binkd log starts.

What Mark said: Talk to the mailer a bit. There probably is a message in the
protocol that can tell the mailer on the otherside it isn't allowed to connect.
Like mystic does when it tells the otherside that unsecure sessions are not
allowed.

Bye, Wilfred.
