Thank everyone for the response…I am going nuts here, everything is a mess.

 

For some reason I cant telnet into domain1 email server from domain2 , not only that , domain1 has 2 smtp server, one in the port 6000 and the other in the port 25. Also I send an email to my personal account from domain2 and I got something like this in the header:

 

Mail from :[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Received: from servername.domain3.com ([ip address] helo=domain3.com

 

So the domain in the user’s email address does not match the email server’s domain…I am wondering what are the implications of that…

 

Thanks

Obviously if the server is running out of space make sure you remediate that first.  Second, I would recommend if ServerA cannot send to ServerB, but the reverse is NOT true, then I would suggest trying basic SMTP commands to ServerA from ServerB.  Check the following:

 

1) Is the server responding to SMTP commands?

2) Can the server accept and deliver the mail item to intended recipient? 

3) Are the SMTP queues clear in ESM?

4) Is DNS responding correctly (A, PTR, SRV records present?)?

 

Gut feeling...DNS.

 

That's my first shot!

Thanks very much, I think my second question was very easy J but wanted to confirm it.

 

The problem now is that we have 500 mg in the hard drive but the smtp queue is still not delivering the emails from one server to the other.

 

We have 2 emails servers, one holds domain1.com and the other hold domain2.com. domain1.com can send and receive fine but domain2 cant send to domain2, the emails are stuck in the queue with that domain, how do I troubleshoot that?

 

Thanks

>>>minimum amount of HD space needed for the smtp to work?

It depends mostly on how busy is the server.

Of course.

Hi,

 

I have 2 emails server in 2 different locations.

All the sudden emails are not coming from one server to the other, I found out that smtp queue folder was in  a hard drive that was running out of space.

 

Do you guys know what is the minimum amount of HD space needed for the smtp to work?

 

Also, if the hard drive gets full will that stop the queue from delivering the emails?

 

 

Thanks
