Connection refused means that the POST Server could not find an SMTP server on the other side.  This usually means that the other side is down.  Other errors that you will find in the POST server log include Winsock errors which are all enumerated here: www.sockets.com.

Subject: [iMS] Reading POST Log Files

Is there any documentation on how to read the POST logs?  For example, I have extracted the following :
 
12/04/2003 05:13:22 PM [001] Send mail start for 78C20DBCD25632419CDC5978FF8F4AE5_74A7921EEF5A8D41AB0349A3B2FFCFD4.mail (Priority=5, Attempt=29)
12/04/2003 05:13:22 PM [001] Connect to mx.west.cox.net
12/04/2003 05:13:22 PM [002] WARNING: Error connecting to mx.west.cox.net response follows:
12/04/2003 05:13:22 PM [002] WARNING: (<-mx.west.cox.net) 421 fed1mtai10.cox.net connection refused from [64.7.220.226]
12/04/2003 05:13:22 PM [002] Connect to mx.east.cox.net
12/04/2003 05:13:22 PM [003] WARNING: Error connecting to mx.west.cox.net response follows:
12/04/2003 05:13:22 PM [003] WARNING: (<-mx.west.cox.net) 421 fed1mtai03.cox.net connection refused from [64.7.220.226]
12/04/2003 05:13:22 PM [003] Connect to mx.east.cox.net
I can see that cox.net is refusing my connection.  But, I would like to read more about what other problems might be in this log file.  And, if my connection is being refused, how can I find out why my connection is getting refused?
 
Also, is there a parser program that I can use to parse these logs and give me a better looking report?
 
Thanks,
