If you can't telnet from your Exchange server to the destination server's port 25, then you have a network connectivity issue and ISA or a firewall could indeed be the problem.

I have checked my dns servers to make sure that they had a record for both me and the remote host and everything looks good there. I have even tried telnetting into the remote host from a client computer, and that is where things are strange. I can connect to their mail server on port 25 from a client computer using hyperterm, but I cannot connect to the same remote host from my server. Im thinking this could be an ISA issue, but I wanted to see if anybody had experience with this problem. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
