RE: iSeries email routing problem

Hi Jim

So what message(s) do you get when you try and telnet or ping the address ?

Have you tried a traceroute ? That might give you a clue as to whether it's
routing or something else.

What's the DNS situation for you PC and the iSeries ? Are you using the same
DNS address ? Is the priority set to *LOCAL on the iSeries ? Is there
anything that might foul things up in the iSeries hosts table ?

Regards
Evan Harris

iSeries cannot telnet on port 25 to smtp.xyz.com or by it's ip address, or
ping it.
My pc can do all of the above (I'm vpn into network).
I have domain names set up 70.150.xx.xx smtp.xyz.com
We have two routers - one to T1, one to dsl.
Both routes working fine, in fact http server xyz.com working fine.
Both managed by AT&T - they claim nothing wrong and no blocking of internal
traffic going out.
Using bvstools mailtool with authentication, not the ibm smtp.
v5r4 w/latest cume
Nothing special set up. No firewall inside network.
pulling my hair out..
