One potential problem is the way DNS looks at your mail server. Here are some things to check: - Confirm that you have an MX record which points to your mail server. - Confirm that you have a PTR record returns your mail servers IP addres. - use nslookup to verify these things on a computer NOT on your internal network. Happy Mailing!

Sometimes email I send never arrives at its destination, and I never get a bounce message. I'm pretty sure it's not just a case of winding up in the end-user's spam folder. What can I do to trouble shoot this? I've verified on the top-3 Google responses for "open relay test" that I'm not an open relay, so I theoretically should not have wound up on some blacklist. What else can I do? Can I check with the big 4 to see if I'm somehow being blocked (hotmail, gmail, yahoo, aol)? Any ideas?
