For some reason my exchange server randomly decides to send mail to the wrong server - Here's one example; User sends to her earthlink account; connects to 209.86.93.228 result OK 2008-08-26 14:28:49 209.86.93.228 OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 FCI-EX - 25 - 250+1kxZxmZz3Nl34g0+Message+accepted+for+delivery 0 SMTP - - 2008-08-26 14:28:49 209.86.93.228 OutboundConnectionCommand SMTPSVC1 FCI-EX - 25 QUIT - 0 SMTP - - 2008-08-26 14:28:49 209.86.93.228 OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 FCI-EX - 25 - 221+mx-pigeons.atl.sa.earthlink.net+closing+connection 0 SMTP - - Later on in the day she sends another email; my server decides to connect to 209.86.93.201 - result Not OK 2008-08-26 18:09:26 209.86.93.201 OutboundConnectionResponse SMTPSVC1 FCI-EX - 25 - 550+Authentication+required.+Help+at+http://www.earthlink.net/go/emailse tting s 0 SMTP - - Nslookup tells me; mx1.earthlink.net internet address = 209.86.93.226 mx2.earthlink.net internet address = 209.86.93.227 mx3.earthlink.net internet address = 209.86.93.228 mx4.earthlink.net internet address = 209.86.93.229 So I know why its failing - I know what it is going wrong , but WHY is it doing this and how do I correct it Could my ISP's DNS servers be on the fritz? And its not just happening with earthlink- thanks Jean-Paul _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .com Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
