Sendmail problem, i can send mail, but i can not recieve mail
Hello any/everybodoy,
I'm running sendmail on fedora and have a domain at godaddy. I managed to setup my site running on own host. I try to run my own mailserver on the same linuxbox where i host my site on. I tryed to setup sendmail as good as is know. The problem with the mailserver (sendmail) is thate i can send mail, but i cant recieve mail. i tryed many times to send mail from my gmail account to my server. the gmaill gives back a:
Technical details of temporary failure:
The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect.
[mysite.ca. (0): Connection timed out] [mysite.ca. (10): Connection timed out]

nslookup gives me:
# nslookup mail.mysite.ca
Server: 209.226.51.46
Address: 209.226.51.46#53
Non-authoritative answer:
mail.mysite.ca canonical name = mysite.ca.
Name: mysite.ca
Address: 208.101.84.139
I tested my ports:
Starting Nmap at 2010-04-18 23:03 EDT
Interesting ports on mysite.ca (208.101.84.139):
Not shown: 984 filtered ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp closed ftp
25/tcp open smtp
sendmail config is set to:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=192.168.1.150,Name= MTA')dnl
Telnet gives me:
telnet 208.101.84.139 25
Trying 208.101.84.139…
Connected to 208.101.84.139.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mysite.ca ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.3/8.14.3; Sun, 18 Apr 2010 23:14:49 -0400
My access in sendmail is:
By default we allow relaying from localhost…
Connect:localhost.localdomain RELAY
Connect:localhost RELAY
Connect:127.0.0.1 RELAY
Connect:mysite.ca RELAY
My local-host-names:
Connect:mysite.ca RELAY
Connect:192.168.1.150 RELAY
Connect:localhost.localdomain RELAY
Connect:localhost RELAY
I am behind a router, but he forward 25 to my server 192.168.1.150
I need some help on this one to solve the timeout.
