smtp trace

mikejones has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Does anyone know a module or a script or a freeware app available that traces smtp traffic. I am having issues sending smtp emails to certain clients under FreeBSD. Here is my log file. thank you!

+16.8.179.24]:25: Operation timed out

Typo in the address? Shouldn't that be panasonic instead of panasoni (based on a cursory google search on holveyj) ? The error you're getting is a simple connection timeout, so I doubt a trace is going to help you.	[reply]
