According to my mail log I started getting this message on Apr 7th. and All day yesterday, Apr 8th. It (the problem and the entries in the mail log) seems to have stopped, I have started to receive mail again since about Apr 9th at 11 a.m. this morning. Yesterday, I could ping host1.SUSE.com, www.suse.com and www.suse.de. So I knew they were up, but could not connect with the websites with a browser. It looked like sendmail was answering the list server, but could not connect either. I was getting processes running where sendmail was connecting with the list server, but nothing was coming back to my machine, just the message in my mail log that I was getting a timout waiting for input from host1 during message collect. I have no clue and I had not seen this before. Maybe there was a router down someplace??? The problem seems to have gone away. Thanks, Stryder.

Hi list, I keep getting this message in my mail log:

"timeout waiting for input from host1.SUSE.com"

and I have not got mail from the list all day.

Anyone got any clues??

As ml-admin I can safely say that there are no traces left of any mail bubble on the lists.suse.com mailing list server, and there is currently no mail in the queue.

Is the message still repeating?
