1825.0. "connection reset by peer" by MANM01::CIMAFRANCA () Mon Mar 03 1997 04:06

    This is for a customer running the oh-so ancient firewall, Digital
    Firewall for Unix V1.0.  The firewall is rejecting incoming mail from
    certain sites, a sample transaction from a remote site (sending to the 
    internal mail hub) of which I am reproducing below:
    
    	# mailx -v [email protected]
    	Subject: testing ...
    	asdf
    	asdf
        .
    	EOT
    	# [email protected]... Connecting to gateway.isp.com. (ddn)...
    	221 unknown peer host
    	>>> HELO sender.com
    	[email protected]: Connection reset by peer during client
    		HELO with gateway.isp.com
    
    The mail is stuck in the mail queue after which it times out and
    bounces back to the sender.
    
    I have already installed the smtpxd patch for DFWU v1.0 and I am
    allowing fake hostnames to pass.  Any ideas what is causing this
    problem?
    
    Appreciate any help.  Thanks in advance.
