Hello all,

We are having trouble with our mail delivery with our new DA install, about 90% of our emails are just sitting in the queue with the reason

R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (111): Connection refused

The domains all vary and sometimes deliver and sometimes dont, has anybody got any ideas on where to start, none of the logs show anything obvious.....

:confused:

Cheers
Tom
 
Looks like your server is blocked by the remote server :) I suggest you check your IP address against RBL :)
 
Another reason could be no active reverse DNS for your IP#. If you post your domain/IP# information that could help someone here check further for you.

Have checked everything, we have correct reverse DNS set up, have checked the RBL's, we were on spamcannibal but have now been removed and are not on any, still its getting refused :(

Any ideas???
 
Tried a test email this morning, so far this is its log....... not looking good

There has gotta be a firewall blocking port 25 somewhere on your network. Connection refused means its not even making a connection at all. You should check any firewalls that you may have and make sure they are not blocking port 25 tcp outbound.
 
Thanks chatwizard, you appear to be correct, never thought of checking it before but there is a problem somewhere with the routing of the public IP for the box, wont connect to a lot of things properly, so its appearing like its firewalled.

For the time being have pointed all outgoing mail through a different server and am going to move the box to a different IP, thanks for the replys everyone:)
