Problem Sending to Only One Domain/user

am 29.09.2005 22:28:10 von chucka95

Hopefully somebody can help me here. I have problems sending e-mail to
only ONE user/domain and they have problems sending to me. ANY e-mail I
send bounces back. When I try to connect to the company mail server, I
get the message "all lines are busy at this time, try later."

Any ideas or insights would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,

Chuck

Thank you, good point. When I try to send an e-mail via Outlook I get
the following message back. The following recipient(s) could not be
reached:

helenh@xxxxxx.com on 9/29/2005 1:08 PM
There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's
email server. Please contact your system administrator.

When I try to manually send an e-mail via telnet, I get this response.

Hello [xxx.xxx.xx.xx], pleased to meet you
mail from:my-email address
250 ok
rcpt to:my target e-mail address
250 ok
data
559 we do not accept spam
QUIT

At first I thought this was an overzealous spam filter, but the
recpient can't send an outbound mail to me either.

Thanks for any help--

Chuck

This is a MIME GnuPG-signed message. If you see this text, it means that
your E-mail or Usenet software does not support MIME signed messages.
The Internet standard for MIME PGP messages, RFC 2015, was published in 1996.
To open this message correctly you will need to install E-mail or Usenet
software that supports modern Internet standards.

Go, and bitch to Microsoft.

This is an utterly meaningless and content-free error message.

The problem here is that Outlook things that you are a dumb idiot, and a
clueless moron. That you are too stupid to understand the real technical
problem that prevents it from sending an E-mail message. Supposedly.

So, rather than reporting the actual error, and whichever one of the number
of standard error messages are used to report any one of several known
network-level errors, it replaces all that overly-complicated technicalese
with some warm and fuzzy, content-free error message, that means absolutely
nothing.

Using telnet proves that there is no connectivity problem of any kind.

The problem is somewhere in Outlook. Only Microsoft knows what's broken
with their software.

This is assuming that you've telneted to the same server that you've
configured Outlook to use for outbound mail, of course.

Indeed Outlook's error messages are rather uninformative. Therefor I
advise the OP to, temporarily, use Outlook *Express* for testing and
check and report both the 'bounce' e-mail *message* *and* the (*exact*)
error messages in OE's Tools -> "Send and Receive" status window. You
can make the status window 'stick' (i.e. prevent it from disappearing
when the "Send and Receive" is finished) by clicking on the pin in the
lower right corner.
