I have a client on a dedicated server (yes, my infamous Fedora Core 2 dedicated server) and recently he told me that he is not getting any web mails in his mailbox. I did some testing, and sure enough, mail is not sending from the server. So I did a little searching around and found my mail log and reviewed them. Apparently on every attempt to send, the connection to the SMTP server is timing out. What does that mean and how do I begin to look for fixes? I am not mail wizard whatsoever so this is all new to me. All help as always is much appreciated.
Here is the last few lines of my mail log:
