email problem |
|
|
We can send emails to ourselves or other external recipients but
recieving is problematic.
Some just don't arrive, others take up to 1 day before they are
received.
As an example, test emails to admin@<domainname>.com.au, techsupport or
sales, sent from hotmail simply do not arrive.
There are no error msgs or errors in event viewer, plus the daily
server report shows all OK, appart from getting an error from the
time server occasionally. The A record points to our FQDN, ISPs MX
records are also OK [according to them, and we have no reason to
refute this].
I can use telnet to talk to exchange on port 25, the Linksys WAG54G
modem/router forwards ports to the server 192.168.16.2 firewall and
DHCP are disabled in the router.
OS is SBS2003 Standard Edition with SP1.
Any help to resolve this would be appreciated, we are all new to SBS
so bear with us.

Do you get a bounce message (NDR) at the hotmail account that sent the test
messages?
When you did your telnet test test did you do so from outside your LAN? Did
you telnet by IP address or my domain name? What firewall are you using?

thanks for the response
No NDR from hotmail account
I telneted from a client PC from within the LAN:
telnet jupiter 25 [server name] works OK

Re: email problem |

Ben
Here's an update on the situation, I had a think about the error below
and re examined the routers settings. "Block Anonymous Internet
Requests" was enabled, so after reversing this I tested my mail from
DNSreport.com, this time there were no errors.
More importantly, a swag of emails suddenly appeared in my inbox,
some from two days ago, could it be that having BAIR enabled was the
cause ?. I can't see the connection between that and exchange but as
stated in my initial post here, we are all new to this.

Robert,
I've been checking your MX records and they seem to be fine, the host that
is pointed to is also resolvable. The only thing that I can't do is telnet
into your server by name or IP. Just to be clear, I can telnet into other
mailservers.
This concludes to me that your connection is the problem, port 25 just won't
come through. You could try to disable the firewall for a few minutes and
see what happens.

I wouldn't be shocked if you got that flood of e-mails because you reset

Do you get a bounce message (NDR) at the hotmail account that sent
the test messages?
When you did your telnet test test did you do so from outside your
LAN? Did you telnet by IP address or my domain name? What firewall
are you using?

We can send emails to ourselves or other external recipients
but recieving is problematic.
Some just don't arrive, others take up to 1 day before they
are received.
As an example, test emails to admin@<domainname>.com.au,
techsupport or sales, sent from hotmail simply do not arrive.
There are no error msgs or errors in event viewer, plus the
daily server report shows all OK, appart from getting an
error from the time server occasionally. The A record points to
our FQDN, ISPs MX records are also OK [according to them, and we
have no reason to refute this].
I can use telnet to talk to exchange on port 25, the Linksys
WAG54G modem/router forwards ports to the server 192.168.16.2
firewall and DHCP are disabled in the router.
OS is SBS2003 Standard Edition with SP1.
Any help to resolve this would be appreciated, we are all new
to SBS so bear with us.

Robert
