> What do the logs show when IMail is processing the E-mail?
It looks like 2 topics got mixed up -- I had suggested that for the Hotmail issue (so see why someone's IMail server couldn't send E-mail to Hotmail). But, the logs will be useful here, too. :)
In last week's file, there were 4,133 instances of;
MX connect fail "some.ip.address" (in quotes)
Today there are almost 23,000
Good catch -- that's a very important clue as to what is happening.
>From today's log:
02:25 00:09 SMTP-(000005D0) Trying domainname.com (0) 02:25 00:10 SMTP-(000005D0) MX connect fail "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
Unfortunately, this doesn't provide much information.
Is "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" one of the MX records for domainname.com? Is it reachable?
>From last week's log: 02:18 01:32 SMTP-(000009AC) Trying domainname.com (0) 02:18 01:32 SMTP-(000009AC) Connect domainname.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:25] (1)
Is "domainname.com" the same as "domainname.com"? Are both "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"'s the same?
So I am back to DNS.
Maybe -- depending on the results of the above.
Could you supply the domain name? That would help a lot, and prevent mistakes in figuring out what is happening.
