Re: baffling(at least to me) mail routing issue

Restarting the interface was at least 30 minutes after the IPL completed
and the server had come back up.

We have 4 nics and 5 interfaces defined on the partition. Each Domino
server does have its own IP/interface.

This problem occurred on a server that has been rock solid for years and
doesn't change much as far as hardware/software.

Might be a timing issue with startup? Do you have a modified program
listed in DSPSYSVAL QSTRUPPGM?

I use a particular web site to test connections to someone else's mail
domain
http://www.zmailer.org/mxverify-cgi.html

When using that I noticed that I can do things from the domino command
line like
TELNET 'e.mx.mail.yahoo.com' PORT(25)
where I picked one of the MX records returned by the above website. By
using the name and not the IP address it helps test dns.

RSET

EHLO dekko.com

RSET

MAIL FROM:<postmaster@xxxxxxxxx>

RCPT TO:<postmaster@xxxxxxxxx>

QUIT

If I can get that far, that's a pretty good test. That, and I really
don't want to format an entire email via TELNET.


Also, do you have multiple interfaces defined for CFGTCP? I use a
separate one for Domino from i. Hint: Make your one for i be a smaller
number than your one for Domino. That way all the i clients (ftp,
telnet...) go out the other address and not that one.
