Error 421 service not available remote server has closed connection

Hi Exchange Expert,

This morning I had an inbound mail issue. Outbound email was fine and working normal. There was intermittent inbound mail issue. No modification on exchange server configuration.

Error returned:

Error 421 service not available remote server has closed connection. Even when I tried to telnet from outside I got an error 421 4.3.2 service not available.

It started working after I adding 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255 to receive connector -receive mail from remote servers list.

It was working fine until yesterday without specifying this IP range.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Deorali

You must have had some kind of range in there for it to accept email.
The error you have posted is exactly what I would have expected if the range was wrong.
Furthermore it would have had that range in by default, unless it is an SBS server.

This is what I had before and the mail was flowing without having to add the new range 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255

Is this an SBS Server?

There could be two possibilities:

1. Low disk space and for more see  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/284204
2. Backpressure feature and for more see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201658.aspx
