Re: Problems sending email to Yahoo & some others

[rvd]

What type of machine are you running James on?  Can you try to do the 
following on the actual server running James..
James is running on a Win2 machine.

1) use nslookup or dig util from the server running james to see if you 
can determine the MX records for yahoo.com
with nslookup:
nslookup <enter>
set type=mx <enter>
yahoo.com. <enter>

Do you receive a response with all of the Yahoo MX records listed?
Folliwing (between the "-----" is what I get:

-----
nslookup
Server:  vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net
Address:  4.2.2.1
** vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net can't find nslookup: Non-existent domain
set type=mx
yahoo.com
Server:  vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net
Address:  4.2.2.1
Non-authoritative answer:
yahoo.com       MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx2.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com       MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx4.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com       MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx1.mail.yahoo.com
-----

2) then.. try telneting to port 25 on some of the hosts listed in the 
results from the previous nslookup query.
example:  telnet mx1.yahoo.com 25
This is what I got:

-----
telnet mx2.mail.yahoo.com 25
Unrecognized command: telnet mx2.mail.yahoo.com 25
telnet mx2.yahoo.com 25
Unrecognized command: telnet mx2.yahoo.com 25
