OK gang, I am trying to get sendmail to work on my Mandrake Box sitting behind my NAT router/firewall.
I can recieve mail from all of my test account on hotmail, yahoo, my school account and my ISP account, no probs...works great. I use a dynamic dns service so I have an MX entry.
My firewall is set up to allow port 25 connections. This is the timeout error I am getting.

Sendmail needs to resolve to the box its running on to send mail, but my MX entry resolves to my router.
Any sendmail advice is appreciated.
