DNS has been validated (ping works on FQDN and browser can open websites
using FQDN no problem) NSlookup returns all correct records (MX too, when
requested)
Reverse DNS is set correctly and mail finds its way to server for collection
by POP3 (thats where this correspondance is collected)
I am at a loss to explain why SMTP will not send
Frustrating.............
