Unable to send/receive mails


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

 

We are using Windows 2000 Server in Windows 2000 Exchange server and

our domain name is "silvertidesoftware.com". From last night we are

unable to receive any mails.

 

The mails we are sending other domains are going but we are not

receiving any mail there is no error message while clicking the send/

receive button in the outlook express.

 

I have restarted all the services.

We checked the SMTP and the POP3 configuration looks fine.

We even tried dismounting and mounting the information store.

We even did the integrity check.

 

Only problem is that we are not receiving any mails from our and other

mail server. We are able send mails to other mail server and not our

mail server.

 

I have sent lost of test mail we are not receiving any mails.

 

Please some buddy helps us.

 

Thanks

Mike

Hi - please post Exchange questions in microsoft.public.exchange.admin. I'm

setting up this reply to crosspost to that group.

 

Your DNS looks fine and I can reach your exchange server on port 25. What

about testing using OWA? So far all you've demonstrated is that you can't

connect your mail client to your server, not that your server isn't getting

any mail from the Internet.

 

What about message tracking in Exchange System Manager?

 

Why are you using OE and POP to collect mail from your Exchange server?

Exchange is awfully expensive to use for that purpose.

We are unable to login through WOA.

 

the message tracking is not enabled

 

And we are getting the following Error in Event Viewer

OK; that's a problem. What happens when you try?

What about Outlook/MAPI?

That's a problem too.

Again, your DNS looks just fine. Your Exchange server itself appears to be

having problems. Don't worry about the NDR message - that isn't relevant.

Check for other event log errors.

Oops - didn't look closely enough - you've got an MX record

mail.silvertidesoftware.com but you don't have an A record for it.

However, you do have other problems on your server if you can't use OWA or

Outlook and are relying on POP3.

Hi

 

Thank you for your answers.

 

Still we are not able to receive any external or internal mails

 

We have checked the DSN configuration and point the DNS IP provide by

our ISP.

 

We are getting following resulting the NSLOOKUP:

 

silvertidesoftware.com MX prefernece = 10, mail exchager =

stsserver.silvertidesoftware.com

silvertidesoftware.com nameserver = ns1.mcleodusa.net

silvertidesoftware.com nameserver = ns2.mcleodusa.net

silvertidesoftware.com nameserver = ns3.mcleodusa.net

ns1.mcleodusa.net internet address = 209.253.113.2

ns2.mcleodusa.net internet address = 209.253.113.10

ns3.mcleodusa.net internet address = 209.253.113.18

 

I see the mails are struck in the queue.

Servers-> server->protocols->SMTP->default smtp server-> queues

I even tried the forceconnection for each queues and refreshed and no

sign of improvement.

 

When I try the Telnet silvertidesoftware.com 25 it's connecting.

 

I have used the TestMailer software and its give the following message

 

Attempt to send message with reference 5.

I think there is problem with the SMTP. It's not forwarding mail to

our domain.

Could you please tell us how properly re-configure SMTP.

 

Is there any other way to forward the mails?

 

Feel free to give us any suggestions on the problem.

 

Thank you in advance

You seem to have changed your MX record - it's now

stsserver.silvertidesoftware.com - but you *still* have no A record to

match. You need to have this created for you. Right now your MX record is

pointing at a CNAME - this is a Bad Thing.

Recap - this part's pretty simple.

 

Your sole MX record is set to stsserver.silvertidesoftware.com.

There is no matching A record for that.

Create an A record for stsserver.silvertidesoftware.com and point it at

your public IP.

See http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF002.html for info on how all this

works.

SMTP doesn't "forward" in the sense you mean.

Re: Unable to send/receive mails

 

Hi Lanwench,

 

Thank you for your answer. i really appreciated it.

 

We figured out that the SMTP was causing a conflict with Exchange. So

I re-install Exchange server and its service packs to have the proper

SMTP Virtual server again.

 

Now every thing seems to be normal. We are able to receive internal

and external mails.

 

The store.exe was eating up my CPU/Memory. Then figured out that I

have set the Diagnostic Login to maximum and change it none.

 

I will ask my ISP provider to create the A record.

 

Still the WOA is not working, we need to figure out that one. Can you

help me in this part? I ready to give you more details on this.

 

We don't where it really went wrong because our mail server is working

for passed six years without any problems.

 

Once again thank you.

 

Mike.

Glad to hear it, but you do need to fix your domain's DNS records.

Please post a new message in microsoft.public.exchange.clients, containing

all the pertinent details, as it's a

different question (& this thread is getting a little stale).

Can't say, sorry.
