Title: RE: problem message

Tony,   I can only suggest a few things you could try (you might have tried them already...)   You could try to deliver to local accounts. If that works then the mailformat is ok and xmail should be able to deliver them to the outside world   Have xmail forward mails via a smtp relay command: - first to another smtp server in your office (this wil tell you xmail can deliver at all) - if that works then send to a smtp server outside the office on the internet (use a ip address instead of a host name for the relay to prevent dns trouble). (this will tell you if there is a firewall issue) - if that works use a hostname instead of a ip address. (this will tell you if there is a dns issue)   - Dick   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 10:18 PM Subject: RE: problem message I am completely stumped with this one install of xmail.  It will NOT send mail.  Not to itself, not to the outside.  It recieves mail just fine from both the inside and outside.  Beleive me - I have stared at the various .tab files for DAYS.  Tweaked settings and gotten a variety of different results - from worse to much worse.  But nothing I do will make it send.   I have been trying to make this box send mail for over a week - can anyone help?

It doesnt matter what the outside domain is - they all fail.  The host machine can ping, and find mx records for all destination domains just fine. Anybody have any ideas?
