The address you have which I assume is your firewall is not accepting connections. Look at your firewall logs... -Original Message- From: Niki Blowfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 8:47 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: SMTP Not Reaching Exchange Server Hi, Running MS Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 on Windows NT4 Single server environment, server sits on private address behind Sonicwall ProVX firewall Firewall forwards all SMTP to this server which has the IMC, has worked fine for a number of years Mail has stopped reaching mailboxes, and doesnt appear to be reaching the Exchange Server at all I would ordinarily suspect the firewall, but you can telnet to our mailserver successfully and send an email from there Our MX record points to mailgate.partition.co.uk which resolves to our Sonicwall ProVX Any ideas? I dont know a great deal about the Sonicwall I guess i could move the NT server temporarily to outside the firewall and give it the address of mailgate.partition.co.uk to see if i can eliminate the firewall Thanks Nik _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
