RE: mail connectivity

[Robin Lawrie]

When you had this on the FRAME connection, were the firewalls being used?

 

Also, have you checked the logs on the firewall by turning on full logging for the relevant rules to see if anything is being dropped? Just because you can ping a machine doesn't mean mail will be sent. Another tool you could use is the RPCPING tool that tests RPC connectivity. You could also try to connect to port 25 on the remote server using telnet.

OK here is the scenario.

 

Windows 2000 advanced server running Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 in USA

Windows NT Server 4.0 SP6a running Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 in Israel

using a VPN connection, (checkpoint firewall),

this is in a test environment so no rush.

 

what is happening----

can't send mail to each other from either side, which will not allow me to do directory replication.  I have verified that I can ping the server name by IP address and by name from both sides, which shows that there should be nothing wrong with the rules on the firewall.  Now with that said before I had this going across the VPN connection I had this on our FRAME connection which was working.

 

ANY IDEAS?
