I too am having a similar problem. Mail is not being received through
SMTP and is sending but at a 5 - 6 hour delay. Mail is backing up in our
mail queue. We are using SOFTWARE.COM - Post.Office v2.0.
We have a NT box with SOFTWARE.COM's POST.OFFICE software loaded at our
site which apart from another application serves as our central mail
host, communicating directly over a leased line with our Internet
supplier.
Mail is exchanged with a Microsoft Mail SMTP gateway (a DOS PC) via the
local
area network. We are having problems receiving and sending mail .
Especially incoming mail that is routed to the SMTP gateway it is not
moving.
The "mailq" command shows a lot of mail files waiting to be transferred
with
the error messages "Reason: Server Failed."
The "ping" command shows that the SMTP gateway is alive and the "tracert"
command also verifies that the gateway is known.
Does anyone who has the same kind of setup recognize these problems and
know
what we could do to trace the problem? Rebooting the SMTP gateway does
actually
help for a few hours until it attempts to receive mail again, but this is
not practical in the long run. Futher, this only helps with sent mail.
Mail is NOT being received.
