Len, I appreciate your response. John over on the isaserver.org mail list gives you great credit as a DNS guru. I have, as John suspected, a split DNS setup. My internal DNS must be the issue since my external works to perfection. If you could help I would really appreciate it, since I am limping through this as I go.
My internal DNS has entries for the host names/ internalf IP's of each of the mail servers. However, no other entries for those machines. What should my internal DNS look like in order to resolve my two external mx/A records. This may be too vaque for you to answer on. If you can let lme know what yo uneed to know I will provide you with it. Thanks Lee (Thanks John for guiding me) -----Original Message----- From: Len Conrad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 2:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Exchange 2k and Imail >>7:03 12:18 SMTP-(06B8005C) SMTP_DELIV_FAILED >>07:03 12:18 SMTP-(06B8005C) >QUIT >>07:03 12:18 SMTP-(06B8005C) rl-recv: connection aborted > >can you ping or traceroute from one server to the other? > >resolution via hosts works within each machine.
