RE: SMTP Looping

Thanks for the assistance all. I found the culprit... Seems the
phone/pc/(thinks he's a programmer) here opened the SMTP properties and
changed them to allow relay ALL... And the spammers that troll for these
kind of settings in SMTP found us. I have since changed this value to allow
relay using a list of internal servers and we have calmed down a bit.

This looks just like the problem I had on one of my remote sites.  Our
problem seems to have been the result of the internet connection to our
main office being out.  As a result the remote system could not route
mail because the connection was broken.

While researching the problem however, I came across this...

Maybe it helps???

Hi all, 
            I have had this problem before but for the life of me I
cannot
remember how to resolve it. The SMTP server has loads of QTSMTPCLTP
pre-start jobs. They are looping and I can get them to re-set. 
 
            I have IPL'ed (somewhere in the depths of my mind this was
supposed to fix it.) It did not.
 
            We are at V5R3 and have the latest PTF's installed. 
 
What can I Do?
Thanks in advance 
Kevin
