This is a Win2003 DNS issue. Some mailservers behind firewalls which do not allow transfer of UDP packets larger than 512 bytes may not be able to return the MX record
If your firewall restricts UDP packet transfers though, you may want to verify that it will allow transfer of a MX record within the size limitations specified by RFC1035: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1035.html Windows 2003 server has included Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS0) to allow larger packets. If you run this command on a 2003 server: "dnscmd Server Name/Config /EnableEDnsProbes 0", it fixes it without making any changes to the firewall. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Shiffer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 4:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [xmail] Re: Problems with hotmail.com We have started to get these same errors - for the last 2-3 months. Never any before then. It has happened sending to earthlink, hotmail, and some others. Its does not allways seem to happen. Often, if the user resends the message - it goes through just fine. It includes the error -162's , and some times error text that says that relaying is prohibited, or that the sender is not recognized as being connected to that ISPs network (which they aren't, of course). We have investigated DNS, RDNS, as well as the infastructure (NICs, cabling, and even power supllies in the xmail server boxes.). Inone case, we even had the ISP (level3.com) replace the network cable all the way from our rack, back to the main switch. Nothing has made any difference. It happens on xmail 1.13 run on one old box, and xmail 1.20. - both Windows boxes. These boxes are in different locations on different subnets so they have nothing in common as far as ISP, hosting location, or domains being handled by xmail.
