Hi All, I know this may not strictly speaking be a Linux question so I beg forgiveness in advance, but I'm hopeful someone will be able to point me in the right direction.
I'm having trouble sending email between 2 accounts I look after. One is a domain on a dedicated server (Redhat+Plesk (qmail) ), the other is a shared/managed hosting account (cPanel) at a completely different provider. Wehn I tried sending email in either direction between these 2 particular accounts, the email stalled for 4 days then bounces. Both accounts had no trouble sending/receiving with most (all?) other MTAs I noticed SMTP on the dedicated server was very slow (20-30 sec delay) to accept email from my desktop client so I turned off the reverse-DNS lookup it was doing. This helped the speed at which I can send email out through it, but didn't improve the 'connection' to the shared/managed account. After a long investigation and no resolution found, the shared hosting provider moved my managed account to another of their servers, and I was then able to send/receive email with the dedicated server. However the client on the dedicated server reports they have the same issue with a few other (important) contacts. Unfortunately moving my managed account also removed my test-bed to track down the root cause (but I needed my email fixs!!) Has anyone seen similar issues and/or have suggestions as to what the underlying problem may be?
