First off, congrats on the CISSP. Sencond, FWIW, I have had to add "manual" entries in the host file to accommodate other mail servers having problems (especially Hotmail). From what I can tell, their mail systems can't handle the incomming connections (verified by the sporatic inability to telnet to the SMTP port). Just try to set the entry to a secondary mail server that "may" be more stable. But beware, you are bypassing your DNS functions, so if they change IP's, you won't be able to send them anything until you remember that you manually set it in the host file.

Dear All, I'm trying to resolve connect stack fail problem within the iMail server smtp service. The imail server has one external ip address with 4 virtual domain. I have applied all the latest patch and gone thru the knowledge base on this subject, checking DNS setting and etc... and I'm still getting these errors... for example, sending to hotmail users is a problem as well as to some ISP email account... Any suggestion and recommendation on what I can do???
