Ah, I did not use dnsreports, just my own DNS. I got no timeouts for any of the records I requested.
Without the logs, we don't know if the connection was refused or why. OK, it is one possibility. I see that the IP address reported as the email server does not match the one in DNS now, thanks... That certainly could be a reason a mail server might reject a server or a message. Matti, I was only questioning that you mentioned "Nameserver entry for email.systelinc.com" ( which I now see this is a quote from dnsreports) and maybe I misunderstood the meaning of the phrase. I thought it meant that there was a requirement for an NS record for the email server, when NS records are normally used for domains, not mail servers. Isn't English a wonderful language!

I looked for the mailserver records, because they are required by some servers! This is what DNSreport.com tells about the NS for the mailserver: WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record. email.systelinc.com claims to be host email.systelinc.com [but A lookup times out]: 220 email.systelinc.com (IMail 9.10 2334-8) NT-ESMTP Server X1 email1.systelinc.com claims to be host email.systelinc.com [but that host is at 220.225.228.150 (may be cached), not 202.63.107.2]. Maybe this is the reason why intel refuses the connection.
