Hi Jim, Sorry I had an issue earlier telnetting to the mail.tmtdevelopment.com server, but I no longer am having that issue. Your setup looks fine, the issue lies with the other folks.

Troy, Thank you for taking some time to help with this. The mail.tmtdevelopment.com server is the primary server I administer. Are you saying you see a problem with SMTP on this server? The easystreet.com server is a fail-safe should something go wrong with the DSL or the server itself. However, I did get your test message.

I assume your spelling of urban-restaurants.com was incorrect as your spelling has no MX. The MX listed for the correct spelling is smtp16.msoutlookonline.net / exmf016-3.msoutlookonline.net which also seems to be having some issues. I was able to send an email outbound to that tmt address so that is working, though I would remove the incorrect MX record from DNS. That means your customer is working, though there is an entry in DNS that is just taking up space and not responding. The other guys need to do a quick check on what IP/DNS names for that domain should be dealing mail. It should be a simple fix to change DNS to be the correct mail servers. Hope that helps -Troy -----Original Message----- From: Jim Majorowicz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 1:06 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Unable to receive email from Exchange 2007? I've got a client with a non-standard SBS2003 server that was originally configured by someone who didn't know what they were doing with SBS (I.E. they didn't use any of the wizards.) I've pretty much cleaned it up, but now they have a customer that uses Intermedia hosted Exchange (Exchange 2007) that gets "Requested #500 Syntax error, command unrecognized ##" when trying to send to my customer. My Google-foo landed me on an Experts Exchange Question (Q_23389507) that suggests "This was a DNS issue with the owner of the Domain. Someone had put an entry in to the MX for a secondary at a filtering company for no apparent reason. The syntax error was their way of reporting we don't filter your mail. Thus why owners have administrators and don't make their own changes." I'm unclear if this means an issue with Intermedia's customer (urban-resturants.com) or with my customer (tmtdevelopment.com). Can someone who is currently using Exchange 2007 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and let me know if they get the same 500 error?
