For the past 2 weeks, our subscribers have not been able to successfully send email to people with MSN.com accounts. Every other domain on the planet seems to work fine (no errors) Prior to this , there were no issues. Everything was running great!
Below is a snippet from the logfile involving one of the failed deliveries from this afternoon: ------------------------------------------------------------- 14:07:11 4 SMTP Line 11336 created for msn.com, [S.0009657202] 14:07:11 4 SMTP-336(msn.com) Got 1 relay(s) 14:07:11 4 SMTP-336(msn.com) Looking for smtp-gw-4.msn.com 14:07:11 4 SMTP-336(msn.com) Connected to [207.46.181.13:25] 14:07:11 4 SMTP-336(msn.com) Input Stream ended 14:07:11 3 SMTP-336(msn.com) No prompt at [207.46.181.13:25] 14:07:11 4 SMTP-336(msn.com) Aborting 14:07:11 3 SMTP-336(msn.com) No relay address is accessable. Error Code=0 --------------------------------------------------------------
We run 4 different mail servers (All SIMS 1.8b9d14), and they are all experiencing the same issue.
When I attempt to telnet to the IP address , Port 25, I don't get any response, which re-affirms the error the SIMS is giving.
I have queried our DNS server, and a coupe of DNS servers outside our network, and they all seem to resolve the same as what the Mac is seeing
I contacted MSN support with a trouble ticket number from their "online support", and they've escalated the issue.
Any thoughts while I wait for Microsoft to check out the problem and get back to me (24 to 96 hours)??
I have heard from many sources including some who I would deem quite reliable on this matter that the recent widespread inability of people to get the MSN mail servers to answer is due to the rollout of new anti-spam measures by MSN. It appears that they are feeding some appalling blacklist to their routers...
