Re: Anybody know what to look for in a Trace Route for SMTP?

["Gareth Stevenson" <stevenson_gareth@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brad,

I am only aware of how our(SoftSCreens) trace route program works for 
network node problem determination.

If this is the kind of thing you are after let me know by return and I will 
do my best to explain.

It is not an IBM program however.

Regards
