Hi,
I recently noticed that we cannot send emails to Verizon.net customers. We just receive a message back from our server saying:
Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

someuserremoved at verizon.net
retry timeout exceeded

Here are my dns records (changed the domain and IP for privacy):

mydomain.com. A 64.86.25.###
ftp A 64.86.25.###
localhost A 127.0.0.1
mail A 64.86.25.###
pop A 64.86.25.###
www A 64.86.25.###
mydomain.com. NS ns1.mydns.com.
mydomain.com. NS ns2.mydns.com.
mail MX 10
mydomain.com. TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:64.86.25.### ?all"

From ssh shell I cannot telnet or ping their mail server:
sh>> nslookup -type=mx verizon.net
Server: 64.86.25.###

Non-authoritative answer:
verizon.net mail exchanger = 0 relay.verizon.net.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
verizon.net nameserver = ns2.verizon.net.
verizon.net nameserver = ns2.bellatlantic.net.
verizon.net nameserver = ns4.verizon.net.
verizon.net nameserver = ns1.bellatlantic.net.
relay.verizon.net internet address = 206.46.232.11

sh>> telnet relay.verizon.net 25

Same Verizon Issue

This is a dated post but we are having the same problem to verizon:
R=localuser T=local_delivery defer (-52): Retry time not yet reached

Did you ever resolve this issue?

Thanks
 
Can you do this --> telnet relay.verizon.net 25

Does the port open?

Also check the logs see if you see anything for the mail you send out.

Check:

/var/log/exim/mainlog
/var/log/exim/paniclog
/var/log/exim/rejectlog

Not really sure why it doesnt work for you.

Make sure no firewall is blocking the ip 206.46.232.11

This is what I get:

Code: 
[root@192 ~/bin]# telnet relay.verizon.net 25
Trying 206.46.232.11...

Look what I found in my iptables list:

108 DROP all -- relay.verizon.net anywhere

Thanks for all your help.

You're asking DNS to give you an mx record for relay.verizon.net. There's no such thing because no mail is sent to [email protected]. MX records are for mx servers for domains receiving mail.

If you do a dig as follows:
Code: 
dig relay.verizon.net
you'll get an IP#.

If you do a dig as follows:
Code: 
dig verizon.net
you'll get a listing for relay.verizon.net.
