Hey guys, I have an
interesting problem, and actually im posting this for my buddy, but here
goes....he has a cable internet connection setup with MediaCom (local cable
company)....which uses DHCP, most of the time its reliable....anyhow, he has a
domain bahbah.net with directnic, directnic is setup to forward any email coming
into [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (his old email
account). To detail his network, it goes like this
CABLE--->USR
Cable modem--->ISA Firewall--->Hub--->Exchange 2000
Server
we are using a pop
downloaded to download messages from datacruz and put them into
exchange....which is working fine, the problem is with outgoing mail....E2k SMTP
is setup to deliver mail itself no smart host. All email is in the "retry"
state in the queues....and the queue's say "the remote server did
not respond to a connection attempt" we cannot figure this out, as to we were
having this problem before but it went away and im not sure what I did to fix
it. But it was working and now its not....the weird part is that lets say
he is sending email to hotmail.com and the mx record for hotmail.com is
mail.hotmail.com, he can fully telnet into port 25 on mail.hotmail.com from the
exchange box....we are using the ISA firewall client on the exchange box....any
ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
