I had a problem a couple of weeks ago with them due to the fact that I had a relay open by accident after I fat fingered a setting in IMail. It was only Earthlink and no one else. You might want to check to see if you are considered an open relay.

All, Am really hoping that someone can help me with this one. I am having a big problem with receiving mail from Earthlink that does not seem to happen with any other ISP. One of my hosting customers is complaining that nobody at Earthlink can get an e-mail through to him from there. Here is a snippet from my logfiles of an average connection between my mail server and Earthlink. 20020127 233935 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (5DEC010C) [208.25.165.171] connect 208.25.165.171 port 1198 20020127 234255 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (B7920110) [208.25.165.179] connect 217.27.72.61 port 3116 20020127 234255 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (B7920110) [217.27.72.61] HELO earthlink.net 20020127 234256 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (B7920110) [217.27.72.61] MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 20020127 234256 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (B7920110) [217.27.72.61] RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (B7920110) [217.27.72.61] D:\IMail\spool\D0100110.SMD 4445 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) [x] Description: WinSock 2.0 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) [x] official name mail.thedigest.org 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) processing D:\IMail\spool\Q0100110.SMD 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) recip is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) local user [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) sender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) recip is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) local user [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) closed D:\IMail\spool\_0100110.~MD - 1 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) [x] prodial.com ldelivery devaux (main) from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) ldeliver prodial.com devaux-main (1) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4445 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) [x] bulletinboard.net ldelivery mail-daemon (main) from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) ldeliver bulletinboard.net mail-daemon-main (1) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4445 20020127 234258 127.0.0.1 SMTP (205) finished D:\IMail\spool\Q0100110.SMD status=1 The bounce message that the sender from Earthlink ALWAYS receives is below: >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Craig Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Mail Delivery System" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; >"Kristy Anady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 8:57 AM >Subject: Re: Warning: message 16RGiA-0003wA-00 delayed 24 hours > > Mail Delivery System wrote: > > This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim). > > A message that you sent has not yet been delivered to one or more of its > recipients after more than 24 hours on the queue on > badboy.mail.pas.earthlink.net. > > The message identifier is: 16RGiA-0003wA-00 > The date of the message is: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 09:42:40 -0800 > The subject of the message is: email testing > > The address to which the message has not yet been delivered is: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Delay reason: Remote host mail.thedigest.com [208.25.165.180] closed > connection after initial connection > > No action is required on your part.

FYI, the official Hostname of my mail server is mail.thedigest.org. My client's domain at mail.prodial.com is on its own IP address. I send a copy of all e-mail flowing through Imail to a mailbox named [EMAIL PROTECTED], another domain that I host on the Imail box. System is a very stable AMD 950MHz with 700MB RAM, 18 GB of free disk space, running latest version of Imail with all patches on NT Server 4.0 SP6 with latest OS patches. Am not running MS SMTP server or IIS on the same box. This seems to be connected to a "timeout" error, or a closed/reset connection on my end. Any ideas?!!? THANKS!!!
