If itsn't one thing it's another with this stuff...No outside e-mail is coming in, yesterday everything was working 100% and nothing has changed since then. We do not use an ISP to send/receive our e-mail, our Exchange server handles this. When I do a telnet session by running the following command:
telnet mail.xxx.com 25 nothing comes up, it is just a black window with a blinking cursor
when i just type telnet and get to a Microsoft Telnet prompt I enter o mail.xxx.com 25, I get the message connecting to mail.xxx.com... and then another screen comes up saying press any key to continue and when I do this I get a message saying connection to host lost
I went to dnsreport.com and everything comes back PASS except for the following:
INFO MX Record Your 2 MX records are:
200 mail1.xxx.com. [TTL=3600] IP=209.xxx.xxx.xxx [TTL=3600] [US]
100 mail.xxx.com. [TTL=3600] IP=209.xxx.xxx.xxx [TTL=3600] [US]
But then further down in the Mail portion I get:
FAIL Connect to mail servers ERROR: I could not connect to one or more of your mailservers:
mail1.xxx.com: Timed out [Last data sent: [Did not connect]]
WARN Mail server host name in greeting WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). This probably won't cause any harm, but is a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server.
mail.xxx.com claims to be invalid hostname 'SMTP':
220 SMTP service ready
I have absolutely no clue what else to do...help, please.
