Open a command prompt on the Notes server.
Type telnet mailin-01.mx.aol.com 25
When connected type:
>helo
<remote server response>
>mail from:<your email here> (note... those
lieele <> characters are needed!)
<remote server should respond>
>mail to:<insert AOL bouncy address
here>
<remote server say something else>
>data
<remote server will say something about ending with a
LF.LF>
(Now, hit return a few times, and then type a
message. When the message is done, hit return, then a . then return
again)
See if that gets through.

Subject: Lotus Admin Driving Me
Crazy!
Greetings all,
Our Lotus Notes Admin is trying to track
down some mail issues with one of
our applications. It seems that when
the app sends out mail to some AOL and
Hotmail accounts it gets
bounced. We have received no other complaints from
users of various
other ISPs not getting the same type mail. AOL recommends
the
following:
"The second way to test your server is to telnet to the
IP address in
question through port 25 from a different internet
service provider and
manually initiate an SMTP transaction. If you can
send mail from yourself
on the different ISP to yourself on the
different ISP, your server is
available for free relaying. (Make sure
the email actually arrives in your
mailbox.)"
Does anyone know
of any KB articles that might help me with this? I've
never tried to
telnet via a specific port or initiate
a manual SMTP
transaction.
