Tracy I dont think I am using any DNSBLs OR RNDS How would I check? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tracy Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 8:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Re: local sending problem
OK, if it was sitting with a black screen (no error message) and would complete the connection if you brought up the ISP connection, I suspect that the problem is server side. Are you doing RDNS lookups or using any DNSBLs? Perhaps the server is timing out trying to connect to these to do lookups, and the client is seeing the delay as a failed server connection? Try (as a test) turning off any DNSBLs and RDNS lookups, then do a client connection (use telnet first, then try outlook if telnet succeeds) with the ISP down and see if it succeeds.
