Do you have a Cisco firewall with the command "fixup protocol smtp 25" that's what killed me

Are you doing any SMTP proxying or filtering on your firewall or are you using a SMTP gateway product? It sounds like the server sending you the email is trying your first MX and then trying the second MX record and it then goes through. If this is a case (you can verify with the message headers) check your first SMTP server to make sure that it isn't doing any SMTP based filtering on that server. You also may be able to turn up logging and search for communication with the incoming server. ssfhs.org MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = relay1.iquest.net ssfhs.org MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = ais.smtp.ssfhs.org Joel Stidley -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 8:46 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Why would an email? Or a lack of MX records... Some mail server out there can still mail to your A record, but some will not. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Esgro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 1:26 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Why would an email? MX record pointing to your mail server possibly. I had this exact problem only I was trying to send to an organization. Some mail would go through, some mail would fail. Turned out my ISP DNS servers had two MX records for the recipient and one of them was wrong. It only happened on this one particular domain. It is possible the organization in question for you has a problem on their DNS finding your correct MX server. After doing some recursive queries it is finally finding your MX server. Just a thought. -----Original Message----- From: Mitchell Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 1:04 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Why would an email? Good afternoon, Outlook 98 Exchange 5.5 sp4 I have a user that claims they are not receiving eMAILs from one person outside the organization. I emailed that outside person and asked for a reply. I cc: my Yahoo account so I could see if I was having networking problems. I have checked this person's mailbox and there is no messages from this outside person. The outside person received my eMAIL and replied to all. My Yahoo account got the reply just like that but my Outlook account finally got the message after 4 1/2 hours... WOW. What is up with that? I have checked my queues and nothing is backed up. I can send eMAIL to my Yahoo account from my Outlook account and vice versa and the messages are received on a timely bases. I have checked my logs and see nothing strange. Has anyone had a similar problem? Please help me out.
