I'm getting a 421 when I telnet to port 25 on 208.57.210.46 from
my mail server -- I'll call my ISP to see if they are playing with
SMTP.

Thanks guys - I appreciate it!

http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/[EMAIL PROTECTED] shows
a timeout when connecting to mail.pakstar.com.

Do you have a firewall that might be returning the 421 response?

>I call I-mail tech support and they try it and get a connect failed.

Where exactly are you getting a 421 response?  If you run telnet, and
telnet to port 25 at 208.57.210.46?  If the server at that IP is offline,
and you are getting a 421 response, there is either something interfering
on your end (does your Internet provider play games with SMTP traffic, like
a number of large dialup/consumer ISPs do?), or the IP is connecting to
another server that is responding with the 421.
