Yes, we were able to successfully telnet from the IMail server itself, and also tried with just one DNS IP entry in the SMTP set-up which is our co-lo's. For now, we are actually using his smtp server (and not ours) set-up on our Cold Fusion administrator on the Web server for our auto-reply CF forms are now working again. But when we set it up to use our IMail server in the CF Administrator - it does the MX Connect fail when trying to send.
We checked the header and all looks OK. It would show our IMail server IP correctly in the header the CF Mail generates, etc. -Don S. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Eric Shanbrom > Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 7:31 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] MX Connect Fail - Long log Snippet > > Have you tried telnetting out from the mail server to any of the "Failed" > addresses.
