Inbound internet mail suddenly stops

[SusanRice]

I have setup workstations to POP internet mail from our web hosting/web mail provider with an Outlook service. It was pointed to their IP address. This has been functioning fine for 2 mos. Suddenly there is no inbound mail. I have check my DNS host files to make sure nothing has changed. I have sent test emails out and they are being delivered. I have looked in the Exchange 2003 queues to be sure nothing is sitting "clogging". Any other suggestions?

Does your isp provide webmail? You can check to see if mail is making it that far. If not then you know it's not outlook.

thanks - could not telenet to the ISP's server. Called and found out they were under attack with another hosted domains' primary mail server (unrelated to us) and
they were slammed with spam going to that domain. It stopped mail services from POPing to my exchange server. Thanks for your help!
