Subject: problems receiving mail

Message-ID: <19960729014859.SymSWB9itdJM7oxVP7k-LzhcRs2iRTBWMJ6cjEWYniY@z> (raw)

I can send mail from my plan9 system but cannot receive mail from remote
sites.   I am running the kernel from the book/cdrom distribution 0f 1995.

Remote mail from my plan9 system gets delivered okay.  Local mail is fine.
I can telnet to the plan9 system on port 25 and hand deliver a mail message
and it get put in my plan9 mailbox.  However, when sendmail tries to
talk to my plan9 system, the screen fills up with:

washoe jul 28 18:26 tcp call for tcp25 on chan /net/tcp/16
							18
							20
							22
							23
							25
							16

and this goes on until the system crashes.  washoe is the domain name of the
plan9 system.  

Can someone point me in the diredction of where I have a configuration error?
I used to get mail on my old (pre publication release) of plan9, but have not
been able to get the new release to receive remote mail.
