Read RFC 821 and 822 and their successors 2821 and 2822 to learn how you can telnet into your SMTP server using port 25 to test inbound mail.

Delayed? Hi there - I am having an issue with my exchange 5.5 SP4 (W2K) machine where internet mail is not being delivered to us. The sender receives no bounced message.... I believe that the messages are being delayed or something. The only error out of the event logs is: Event Type: Information Event Source: MSExchangeMTA Event Category: X.400 Service Event ID: 275 Date: 12/9/2002 Time: 2:28:22 PM User: N/A Computer: INVVAN2KEX Description: A deferred delivery timer started for message id C=US;A= ;P=Inventa;L=INVVAN2KEX-021209222636Z-166, object 021209222700Z. Delivery is scheduled for 021209222700Z. [MTA SUBMIT 14 359] (10) Now the resolution for this issue according to the MS KB is to install SP4, but I already have that installed. Any ideas?
