Exchange 5.5 Sp4 W2k Sp2. One of our consultants is trying to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This just sits in the queue and throws back NDR's at the specified intervals until it finally gives up trying. I used the interactive DNS MX-verify CGI available at zmailer.org. The first portion returns the following: Doing resolver lookup for T=MX domain=``helix.mgh.harvard.edu'' Questionable: NO MX DATA: domain=``helix.mgh.harvard.edu'' We SIMULATE! Do have at least one MX entry added!
It does however connect and returns an 'OK'. When I run the Exchange utility restest.exe I get and error, "an error occurred while trying to resolve IP address for helix.mgh.harvard.edu. This message would have been queued for another delivery attempt later. Check your DNS configuration and make sure your DNS servers are running". The DNS server is running on a different W2K server on my network and it has forwarders set to my external DNS servers. My Exchange server is setup to use this W2K internal DNS server. If I run nslookup from my Exchange server it correctly connects to that server and if I lookup "helix.mgh.harvard.edu." and returns the same IP address that is returned by the Interactive DNS test connection. It is only email address sitting in the outbound queue at present so it is unclear whether other addresses are failing. I do not believe the problem is on my end but wanted see if any of the Exchange experts had any ideas.
