Troubleshooting email delivery for new domains

Problem receiving email on two newly registered domains

yegendorflawfirm.ca
yegendorflawfirm.com

Internal Exchange 2003 server sp2

Exchange hosts 6 existing domains for email (5 external) - all working fine
New domain added under Recipient Policies and updated

Internal PineApp unit for filtering email
2 new domains added to accept email delivery

Domainsatcost is registrar and is set to use 3rd party hosting:

ns10.primus.ca
ns11.primus.ca
ns12.primus.ca

Primus (ISP) is doing DNS services and mail relay for both new domains

If I read the NDR correctly the email is making it to our public IP (206.191.37.194) and getting rejected by either our Exchange server or the Pineapp spam unit.  I've gone through both with a fine-toothed comb and can't find any problems, however this stuff is not my forte and I'm probably missing something...

Happy to provide more info.

Have you tried telneting into your exchange 2003 server on port 25 and sending a mail to one of the new domains?

Have you also ticked the box on the email policy to say 'this exchange server is responsible for delivery to this domain'

Hi MegaNuk,

Yes that checkbox is ticked for both domains in Recipient policy.

As for telnet I was able to send a test email...although a few weird telnet errors:

The test email was received right away.
Ok, so it is not exchange then. Try telnet into the pineapp spam unit and perform the same test.
I get relay denied errors on the Pineapp unit however I get those errors even for valid domains that the unit currently processes, so I'm not sure if that's a good test or not

Yeah I'm going to reboot everything tonight.. you're probably right about the telnet thing as well...it's quite restrictive on the internal interface.  I'll update this post tomorrow.

Thanks.
So it was a problem with the Pineapp unit...had to contact their support to resolve but it basically came down to the new domains not taking effect on the unit... their support had to remote in and patch the device.. after another reboot mail was flowing properly!!

Thanks for your help Nuk... good to have another set of 'eyes' on the problem as I was slowly going crazy trying to figure this out!!

Glad it is working. Thanks for the points.
