Managers,
    I am attempting to send mail to a user at foo.com. When I send a message
from my domain, I have trouble establishing a connection with the remote mail
server. I get the following when using sendmail with the -v flag:

user@foo.com... Connecting to mailman.foo.com. via esmtp...
user@foo.com... Connecting to smtp.foo.com. via esmtp...
user@foo.com... Deferred: Connection timed out with smtp.foo.com.

It tries each remote server (mailman.foo.com and smtp.foo.com) for several
minutes before timing out. If I send an email from another server outside of
my domain, everything works fine. Could it be that my domain is being
filtered out and rejected at the remote site? Please send me your ideas on
what the problem might be.
    Thank you, and will summarize.
