Why does my Mail Server not send my email out!!!!
Hello expert,
I hav been using Sambar for a while and I have used the mail server many times...
Always got it to work however, recently, I have been trying to send emails and it does not seem to want to send them...
I have MTA on and on my router log it shows me the following...
[2004-11-04 20:34:16] OK [s20041104203416.6] [QUEUE] Enqueue message type: remote

now why does it abruptly close the connection????????
When I send an email to hotmail, it delivers it however does not get recieved on the other side!!!

Some server will not handle mail without a reverse lookup in place.
Basically other mail servers will want to check who the sending server is, if they are not happy they will kill it off as spam.
The mail you send will contain 2 bits of info, and IP address and a server name.
The mail server handling you mail will do a look up using the name to see if it get the ip. No match and it will dump your mail.
If you mail gets out to some account and not others then it is likely to be this.
You incoming mail is a different process, and can even be handled by a different server, so are not connected.
In your case the mail server are that of your isp Earthlink.net

Reverse lookup is a DNS issue, so talk to whomever handles your IP and domain.
So that the name resolves to the IP and vice versa.
As for spammers list, make sure your mail server is configed properly and that your are not sending email that could be called spam.
Start here http://www.cauce.org/ for more info on spam. You can also goto

If it was working and has stopped, then it might not be a reverse lookup
To check you have a reverse dsn you have to know your server name and ip address. (where your mailing software is sending from)
Ping the name. My server sends emails and states it is called server1.sg7.biz and it's ip is 212.78.77.19

If you can send yourself an email using your server, do that and then look at the email source, the header info will contain a line like...

What is your server name, the name it puts in the head of emails you send?
If you can not ping that name then you do not have a reverse lookup.
My bet is some emails will make it, others will not, because not all servers that recieve email do a reverse lookup.
for example
my domain -> www.sg7.biz [212.78.77.19]
my server -> server1.sg7.biz [212.78.77.19]
my mail -> mail.sg7.biz [212.78.77.19] (my server also handles incoming mail)
when I send mail the mail header contains server1.sg7.biz [212.78.77.19] and I can ping that.
It sound like you server name is not set up.

check your mail logs to see if anyone else has managed to send email via your server.
Open relay like frugle said would mean you would get put in the spam list due to others using your server.
Do you have other mail software on your server that could be sending mail, if so check the logs for them as well.
Also what support do you hosting company provide on your server, you asked them for any help?

im hosting..
could it be due to me having a dynamic ip address.... even though I have a static mx server.. (using a good service which is a dns hosting company which redirects traffic to my most updated ip, which is constatntly updated).....
MAYBE, hotmail requires to have a static ip otherwise it considers you as spam?
sound plausable...??
