Got additional info... here is what the sender's server returned to the original sender (I XXXX'd the email address for privacy reasons)
============================================================== Your message has been delayed and is still awaiting delivery to the following recipient(s): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Was addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Message delayed Remote host has closed the connection No recipients were successfully delivered to. ============================================================== I am getting mail in from other domains just fine. Only this one domain. But I'm going to need to figure out what to tell the domain techie since it looks like I'm at fault (even if I'm innocent)... -----Original Message----- From: JWM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 5:19 PM To: 'James Users List' Subject: Tracing an SMTP connection from remote server An external server is attempting to send email to my client. I have all my logs set to 'debug' level. In the smtpserver log, I see a connection entry from that server every 5-8 minutes for many hours. My question is how to see what is happening on my end after that connection entry in the log. There are a bunch of log entries between each of these attempts. But I really can't tell which entries are part of this connection attempt vs. other unrelated connections. Is there any useful info in this log snippit below that can help determine why this server can't connect? (or should I be looking in some other log?)
