Not receiving some e-mails from certain domains
Hello,
I have Windows server SBS 2003 with exchange server 2003.
Sometimes, i do not receive e-mails from certain domains or cannot send mails to certain domains.
I can receive e-mails from yahoo, but sometime i cant. The sender receives this error:
Connected to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX but connection died. Possible duplicate! (#4.4.2)
> I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
I did some tests using gmail, yahoo, hotmail and i can receive mails from my accounts.
I am not listed on any blacklist on spamhaus.org.
My website is hosted at bluehost: domain.com, but all my mails are redirected here at mail.domain.com
I receive at least 1 notification a day and i cannot find the cause of this.

This 4.4.2 error is only from yahoo.
There is my Firewall --> switch --> mail-server

thats what i thought, but I also receive exchange error codes on a weekly basis. I looked up the error codes:
5.5.0 and 4.4.7. I am more worried aboty the errior 4.4.7 :
Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified. Please retry or contact your administrator <"mydomain.com" #4.4.7>"

Good Day Simon, I went to Dnsstuff, and I had this warning when completing a report:
WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record.
mail.domain.com claims to be invalid hostname '*************************
I think it might be related to my problem.

That looks like a PIX.
You need to disable the FIXUP SMTP in the PIX configuration.

Merci Simon.
What is between Exchange and the internet? Is it just Yahoo that is generating that error?
