Why aren’t you turning on the teaming for the NICs? That will enable fault-tolerance and reduce the IP addresses to one.

 

I don’t know how your Exchange environment is configured exactly, but unless you’re hosting multiple domains

and want to separate them or troubleshooting/logging purposes, or you’re running SBS with CRM,

you should not have 2 IP addresses on your Exch box IMHO.

Glad to hear that. Why is one SMTP server configured with 2 IP addresses?

I have done the telnet… I think I found the problem, target smtp server was configured to only accept connection from certain ip address, the source smtp server has 2 ip address, only one was in the list…it seems to be working fine now…

 

Thanks all

Thanks for your help.

 

I have found out more about my problem.

 

It looks like the target exchange SMTP server is acting up, I can telnet sometimes and sometimes I cant. Also sometimes I am able to telnet but it is really slow and sometimes it even freezes on me.

 

I am still troubleshooting

 

Thanks

The implications are further down the troubleshooting stack IMHO.

 

If you cannot telnet to TCP 25 from the source Exchange server to the target Exchange server, then you have a problem with connectivity.  You must be able to do this. Both directions. Until you can successfully do this, then there is nothing more you can hope to accomplish.  You can check DNS as well, but you can also find out if basic connectivity is functioning using the ip addresses.  If it's not, and it sounds like it's not, then you'll need to address that first.

Thank everyone for the response…I am going nuts here, everything is a mess.

 

For some reason I cant telnet into domain1 email server from domain2 , not only that , domain1 has 2 smtp server, one in the port 6000 and the other in the port 25. Also I send an email to my personal account from domain2 and I got something like this in the header:

 

Mail from : [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Received: from servername.domain3.com ([ip address] helo=domain3.com

 

So the domain in the user's email address does not match the email server's domain…I am wondering what are the implications of that…

 

Thanks

Obviously if the server is running out of space make sure you remediate that first.  Second, I would recommend if ServerA cannot send to ServerB, but the reverse is NOT true, then I would suggest trying basic SMTP commands to ServerA from ServerB.  Check the following:

 

1) Is the server responding to SMTP commands?

2) Can the server accept and deliver the mail item to intended recipient? 

3) Are the SMTP queues clear in ESM?

4) Is DNS responding correctly (A, PTR, SRV records present?)?

 

Gut feeling...DNS.

 

That's my first shot!

Thanks very much, I think my second question was very easy J but wanted to confirm it.

 

The problem now is that we have 500 mg in the hard drive but the smtp queue is still not delivering the emails from one server to the other.

 

We have 2 emails servers, one holds domain1.com and the other hold domain2.com. domain1.com can send and receive fine but domain2 cant send to domain2, the emails are stuck in the queue with that domain, how do I troubleshoot that?

 

Thanks

It depends mostly on how busy is the server.

Of course.

Hi,

 

I have 2 emails server in 2 different locations.

All the sudden emails are not coming from one server to the other, I found out that smtp queue folder was in  a hard drive that was running out of space.

 

Do you guys know what is the minimum amount of HD space needed for the smtp to work?

 

Also, if the hard drive gets full will that stop the queue from delivering the emails?

 

 

Thanks

 

Rezuma
