Re: [IMail Forum] Mail server connections mysteriously dropping

[Eric Shanbrom [Ipswitch]]

This looks like a broken message...The first connection is being dropped by the Exim server on the other end..Cannot tell why from your end...The second "Trying" looks like it trying to do a lookup on PDT (which I would bet is part of a timestamp) which will not work....Something either broke the envelope or didn't build it correctly...   Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: Lester Brown To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 12, 2004 1:10 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] Mail server connections mysteriously dropping I'm having trouble sending e-mail to several domains for some reason. I've talked to the people on the receiving end, and they say that their mail server isn't recording any connections in their server log at all.  Here is a snip from our server logs of a transaction to one of the servers we're not able to send to.   We�re able to send and receive normally to most other people, though, so I�m not sure why these connections aren�t going through.   11:09 08:22 SMTPD(eeae00390080f3f5) [169.204.236.4] connect 169.204.236.240 port 4709 11:09 08:22 SMTPD(eeae00390080f3f5) [169.204.236.240] EHLO LesP4 11:09 08:22 SMTPD(eeae00390080f3f5) [169.204.236.240] MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11:09 08:22 SMTPD(eeae00390080f3f5) [169.204.236.240] RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11:09 08:22 SMTPD(eeae00390080f3f5) [169.204.236.240] E:\IMAIL\spool\Deeae00390080f3f5.SMD 10202 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) processing E:\IMAIL\spool\Qeeae00390080f3f5.SMD 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) Trying ThomasFallonArchitect.com (0) 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) Connect ThomasFallonArchitect.com [207.61.90.202:25] (1) 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) 220 mailforward.freeparking.com ESMTP Exim 4.41 #1 Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:22:20 -0500 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) >EHLO mail.washougal.k12.wa.us 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) >HELO mail.washougal.k12.wa.us 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) SMTP_DELIV_FAILED 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) >QUIT 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) Trying PDT (1) 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) ERR no address "PDT" 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) requeuing E:\IMAIL\spool\Qeeae00390080f3f5.SMD R0 T1 11:09 08:22 SMTP-(eeae00390080f3f5) finished E:\IMAIL\spool\Qeeae00390080f3f5.SMD status=3     Anyone have any ideas?  I've applied all of the updates to iMail and we're at version 8.13.   TIA,   Lester Brown Network Support Specialist Washougal School District 112-6
