RE: Outbound Failures

2002-07-04 Thread Phil Steele

Hi there, after following your suggestion, it appears that I can ping the
hosts locally. I think we have narrowed it down to 3 different hosts.
What I have noticed is that if i reboot the mail server,(which is also our
NAT server by the way)the problem seems to go away. But not for long!!

regards

Phil Steele

 Subject: Outbound Failures
 
 
 I am running Exchange 5.5 SP4 on a W2K server SP1.
 Since installing SP4, it appears (could be coincidence)that I 
 now regularly get notification of Outbound Mail Failures. The 
 message states that the mail could not be sent because the 
 'host is unknown'. I am assuming that if I had any problems 
 with DNS then no mail would get delivered. The Internet 
 connection is working perfectly. Any help would be really appreciated

Silly question perhaps but lets start with the simple stuff:

Have you sat down at the server and tried pinging or traceroute to server
addresses mentioned as problematic in your NDRs? Have you tried contacting
any that you can't reach from your server console from somewhere else? Is it
sending to the same two or three servers that generates NDRs or is it
totally random?
