smtp cannot send to hotmail e-mail

Hi there,

Thanks for your feedback.
1. My email server is ok to send or receive email to or from hotmail. I can use outlook and webmail, all is fine. Only my webserver with smtp cdoys to send to hotmail cannot go through. If hotmail block my domain, why I can send with outlook or from webbase?
2. I use MDaemon email server. I don't know why my shopping cart only cannot send to hotmail. It also  doesn't work with Jmail to hotmail from my webserver. All other email address no any problem.

I really appreciate if can get your any help again. Happy New year,

Fortalk

Hi there,

I contact hotmail tech support and our internet provider. but our email server still cannot send email to all hotmail address. To all other email is fine.  I just attached the information that I got from hotmail tech support below:

Hello,

 When your mail server attempts to resolve “mail.hotmail.com”, it is your DNS server that then tells your MTA what the IP’s are.  If the DNS server is properly updated, then you should be able to route to one of many active Hotmail IP addresses.

 Note that most mail clients allow you to manually point your mail server to a given IP address.  While not a long-term solution, routing your mail server directly to one of our active IP addresses should reenable your communication to MSN/Hotmail.

 The best solution, however, is to ensure that your DNS servers are properly updated with the current MX/IP information that I provided earlier.

Thank you,

Dear Shawn,

Do you mean the problem is our DNS server? So far we use our ISP XO DNS( 65.106.1.196 and 65.106.7.196). Even I changed to SBC DNS(206.13.28.12), still cannot send to all hotmail email account sucessfully. Do I need contact XO company to ask them check their DNS 65.106.1.196? or what should I do anything else?

Thank you very much,
Have a nice weekend,

Hello,

Hotmail maintains four IP addresses for each of its four MX sites.  Of the sixteen IP’s, four are rotated offline for maintenance and upgrades.  This shouldn’t pose a problem as long as inbound MTA’s update their DNS and round-robin their attempts to reach mail.hotmail.com
 

The current MX/IP rotation is as follows:

mx1.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.245.8
mx1.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.244.136
mx1.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.244.8
*mx1.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 64.4.50.50


mx2.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.244.40
*mx2.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.190.50
mx2.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.245.40
mx2.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.244.168

mx3.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.244.200
*mx3.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 64.4.50.179
mx3.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.244.72
mx3.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.245.72

*mx4.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.190.179
mx4.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.244.104
mx4.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.244.232
mx4.hotmail.com. A IN 3600 65.54.245.104

*offline for routine maintenance

Note in the log below that your server happens to be pinging only the IP’s that are currently offline.  Try pointing to one or several of the online IP’s and advise us the results.

Thank you,
