I have a Microsoft Windows 2003 web server running IIS 6.0 and SMTP server. I access the SMTP server in my ASP pages (via Persits Software's ASPemail) to generate outgoing mail, for a variety of reasons (form submissions, online order notifications, etc.).
Anytime a message fails to send (either from ASPemail or SMTP server), it bounces a copy of the delivery status notification message back to me, as the administrator, so I can forward the mail to the appropriate client. This often happens if someone is typing in a website submission form and mis-types their e-mail address, since SMTP server won't allow a message to go out if it has an invalid "from" address.
In general, this works fine. However, there are a few of my clients' domains which I cannot seem to get mail to send to because it says "unable to connect successfully to the destination mail server". The biggest problem for me right now is the domain kohlbp.com. I control the DNS for this domain, which has an A record mail.kohlbp.com pointing to their mail server's IP address 209.10.110.95 and MX records are pointing to mail.kohlbp.com. Their mail in general is working fine, they send and receive messages all day long, I can send and receive messages from them using my Comcast account, etc.
However, when I try to generate a message using our web server's SMTP server, I get what is pasted below (almost in its entirety). The only thing I stripped out was the body of the original message, due to privacy.
So again, in general our server appears to be sending e-mail out with no problem, and kohlbp.com's e-mail system is working, yet for some reason we cannot connect directly to them. I would love to be able to fix this, but I'm out of ideas. Would greatly appreciate some assistance! Thanks.
