Aahhhh. Out of date DNS records. I should clean up more often! This makes all kinds of sense. Thanks, Tom. -Emily

Earthlink requires a valid reverse DNS lookup. Fix your public DNS to reflect that PTR record pointing to iegate.ccpace.com, and in the advanced properties of your SMTP virtual server, enter iegate.ccpace.com as the FQDN. > -----Original Message----- > From: Carrico, Emily [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 02:10 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: Exchange 2K has problems delivering to earthlink.net > > > Setup is Exchange 2K, SP2, single site, single server.
