Make sure you are pinging the mail exchanger, it may not be the same
as the domain name:
# host iname.com
iname.com has address 202.123.209.131
iname.com mail is handled (pri=10) by iname-com.mr.outblaze.com
iname.com mail is handled (pri=20) by iname-com-bk.mr.outblaze.com
# nslookup iname-com.mr.outblaze.c

I received connection refused several times before the mail finally
went thru.

I've checked my logs. I got connection refused up until this morning on iname.com. The mail list Chris mentioned, however, didn't refuse me as I first thought. Instead I get something weirder: no route to host. Manually, I can ping and traceroute, but sendmail gives me 'no route to host'. Does anyone know what this can mean?
BTW, I got a reply from his majordomo on your registration. But alas I can't reply, for the reason above.

From Anders Johansson to SuSE List about Re: [SLE] Project Manager:
I get nothing but 'connection refused' when I try to mail either Chris Reeves or the list he mentions. Has anyone been able to connect to it, or is it just me that's being blocked (and if so, why did you bother mailing me about it, Chris)
I've sucessfully subscribed myself to the list. I don't think he 'blocks' you on purpose. :) I tried sending a subscribe message to the list with you e-mail address in the from to test, not realizing the bounce will come to you. duh. :)
