I am using the Live CD version of Knoppix on my Intel based laptop; the web browsers are runnig fine and I am able to browse websites on the internet (such as this website). If I try to send out emails using a command line based program, such as mail, it fails to deliver the email to the outside world. It of course works for the "local" email.
This works:
-------------------------
>mail myself
..
-----------------------
I can see the email send to "myself" when I invoke mail to view my messages.
This does not work:
-----------------------------
> mails username@yahoo.com
...
-----------------------------
I get long messages (when mail is invoked with -verbose option) -- it basically tries for quite a while to send the email (it is able to connect to the yahoo servers) but finally gives up. The following is a snippet of the log:
-------------------------------------------------
tcpsmtp driver for transport smtp:

unlocking retry/smtp/67.28.114.35 and storing error: transport smtp: connect: Connection timed out.
lock of retry/smtp/67.28.114.36 succeeded (will defer if delivery fails)

Any clue on what's going on, and/or help on fixing this is very much appreciated.
