| we get these relaying denied errors, even though as you can see we have a ptr and all other qualifications in place. What is curious to me is that often the relaying denied error will come off of a yahoo or aol or some other server for a "real" domain name... can someone please explain what I am missing? please see return info shown below. In this instance I am sending an email to a gmail address but the relaying is taking place on an entirely different mail server??? samzellis@gmail.com There was a fatal SMTP error.

| Hello Electricpet,
I started by doing a NSLOOKUP on gmailcom. to see what their MX record shows. This is what I got:
gmail.com MX preference = 30, mail exchanger = alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference = 40, mail exchanger = alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
From the command prompt type the following:
NSLOOKUP
SET TYPE=MX
GMAIL.COM
You should get the results similar to what I have above. As you can see from my list ohio-state.edu is not in the list (which explains the bounce, as the message did not go where it was suppose to). I suggest running the maintenance (Options -> Utilities -> Maintenance -> Cleanup). This should clean up your database. I also suggest clearing your DNS cache as it my be corrupted. Do the following from the command line:
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS
NET STOP DNSCACHE
NET START DNSCACHE
Please let us know how you make out. | | - - - - - - -

| Hi Steve.... this issue is coming forth again... I usually send out (in bulk) about 200 emails at a time and I will get 5-10 rejects like the one I am copying here and the ones you saw before. As you can see mailserver has attempted to deliver the email to a server that is not remotely connected to the domain it is addressed to... should I just turn off dns caching all together? Thanks.
The message, sent by contact@magneticsprings.com, can not be delivered to following recipient(s):

There was a fatal SMTP error.

| The DNS Cache is not in Argo its on your system. Some how it is becoming corrupted. Outside of the steps I provided previously, I am not sure how to go about fixing this issue on a permanent basis. | | - - - - - - -

| I found this article (Google is my friend), http://blogs.computerworld.com/prot...nbsp;which may help. I am not sure if your issue is local of with your ISP DNS server. I use my ISP and Googles DNS server for resolution. Best bet is to do some searches on Google and see what you come up with that fits your issue. | | - - - - - - -

| ok... It finds the mx records for the domain but uses another exchanger to try to deliver the mail? Why? I do know that email had been delivered to the exchanger prior to this one... see below. Is the mail server not responsible for talking to the correct exchange?
Delivery History Follows:
[DLVR 000622 29-02-12 18:16:21] Delivering item 21972
[DLVR 000622 29-02-12 18:16:21] Resolving MX records for domain yahoo.com

| It sounds like the data being passed to Argo May be wrong. Do the following
From the command prompt type the following:
NSLOOKUP
SET TYPE=MX
YAHOO.COM
You should get a response like this:
Non-authoritative answer:
yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mta7.am0.yahoodns.net
yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mta5.am0.yahoodns.net
yahoo.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mta6.am0.yahoodns.net
If it shows something different then there is an issue with your DNS cache.
Can you post the results to your NSLOOKUP.

| looks exactly like that....
I have turned off my system dns cache as I see no reason for it at this point... this server is only running argosoft mailserver. Ran 300 or so emails this AM and only 2 were rejected.... but this time 1 for non connect errors and 1 for the no relay issue.
Please note that the correct mx records are located but it appears the server never attempts to connect... it just falls back to a previous exchanger (one it has been to recently) to do its work. Or at least that is what it appears to my quite ignorant view of it.... | | | |

| What version of ArGo .NET are you using? What OS and Service Pack? CPU / RAM. What else do you run on the server (Anti-virus, DNS, WEB Server, WINS, DHCP, FTP, NNTP, etc)? | | - - - - - - -

|  | | Mail Server v1.0.8.3 |
- Added support of STARTTLS (STLS) command for SMTP, POP3, IMAP, and SMTP relay and delivery, which will
allow secure, fully encrypted connections, when possible;
| | 11/6/2011 1:10:34 PM |
| Mail Server v1.0.8.2 |
- Optimized delivery speed. In earlier versions each "tick" which was checking whether messages were
in the outbox queue, was picking up only one message at a time. Now it will attempt to pick MaximumAllowedThreads-ActiveDelivery threads
messages, which should considerably increase deliver speed;
- Optimized SEARCH and STATUS IMAP commands. They appear to be used very extensively by Android, and (not that extensively, but still) by
iPhone. Now users who use mobile phones to access their IMAP accounts will see considerable improvement;
- Optimized STORE IMAP command. Before storing of IMAP flags was occuring one message at a time, which seemed to be fine
with SQL server, but proved to be slow for SQLite... Now it happens with single SQL call.
| | 10/8/2011 7:59:35 PM |
| ArGoSoft Mail Server v1.0.8.1 | -
Fixed a bug: when using IMAP via Firefox with "When I delete a message, move it
to Trash folder" option, marking messages in the trash folder was causing high CPU usage,
and was taking some time, making the server pretty much non-responsive. The problem was
happening only when using SQLite.
| | 6/6/2011 9:33:36 PM |
| ArGoSoft Mail Server v1.0.8.0 |
- Fixed a problem with web interface - was showing only first page of messages, and would not
switch to other pages; In order to fix the web interface, mail server itself has to be updated;
- When installint initially, was still using SQLite, even when SQL was requested;
- There was a problem with switching from SQLite database engine to SQL server database engine:
the SQL database was not being created;
| | 5/23/2011 5:53:55 PM |
| ArGoSoft Mail Server .NET v1.0.7.9 |
- The server no longer requires Microsoft SQL Server. If SQL server is not found, it will use
SQLite engine, which does not require separate installation. If SQL server is found, then user will be
prompted whether he wants to use it;
- Made other improvements, such as, now mailbox rebuild indexes orphaned records, rather then deleting them,
also added an opotion to increment UIDL validity of folder (both on the Mailbox viewer box);
- Made minor improvements on web interface;
