When I telnet to the host, the connection just hang. For example, I telnet
to mta.excite.com 25, it just hang, no response but I can receive mail from
their site.
I hope I could get more idea on analyzing why the problem occured. Yes, I
know that the problem seemed to be on my side, but what
telnet and traceroute use very differing methods of reaching the destination.
It is not uncommon to be able to traceroute to a dest, but not telnet, or to
be able to telnet, but not traceroute. Typically, if you can telnet but not
traceroute, then someone is blocking the traceroute via a firewall
Dear All,
I receive some strange problems lately,
my mailserver logs many CANT_MAKE_SMTP_CONNECTION.#4.4.1
So I took some domains from the logs and tried to examine the connection to
each domains.
What I did is I connect to internet using 2 connection, 1 my leased line
conn, and 1 other ISP.
