Hi,
can you check your queues if you any queue buildup, how about internal mailflow, is it functional
can you provide the name of your email domain, I can test from external network and try to isolate the problem

might be a silly question but have you tried a simple reboot?

hi,
did a reboot, all internal users of the domain are working fine even the one that not in the network (external domain users).
ill rather not give the domain name if posible.
thank you all

no queues build
So it's working now?
Can you also reboot your router/firewall?
Goto http://whatsmyip.org find your public IP, is it the same one listed if you goto http://mxtoolbox.com and enter your domain name?
What happens when you telnet from outside to to your public IP on port 25?

yes, you can use mxtoolbox and run smtp diag test.
ASKER
no.
i have two receive connectors one for port 25 the other for 587 all are set to accept anonymous.

Make sure you use valid email addresses.
Make sure you use valid email addresses.
so no errors ?
then can you enable protocol logging on receive connector and then send yourself an email from gmail or hotmail , any one will do
then need to check in log if you are getting hit or any failure on wire
also perform message tracking to find if the message came to the server

Ahh! Backpressure!! But if that was the case internal mail wouldn't work either!!
