If it responds properly. Eg: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 xyz.fake.host ESMTP Postfix (type "quit" to get out). Then substitute the ip with the hostname using each nameserver in your list to see if you get through. That will at least eliminate DNS from the equation. - dbc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex @ Kovasys Inc.
