Re: baffling(at least to me) mail routing issue

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Might be a timing issue with startup?  Do you have a modified program 
listed in DSPSYSVAL QSTRUPPGM?

I use a particular web site to test connections to someone else's mail 
domain
http://www.zmailer.org/mxverify-cgi.html

When using that I noticed that I can do things from the domino command 
line like
TELNET 'e.mx.mail.yahoo.com' PORT(25)
where I picked one of the MX records returned by the above website.  By 
using the name and not the IP address it helps test dns.

RSET

EHLO dekko.com 

RSET

MAIL FROM:<postmaster@xxxxxxxxx>

RCPT TO:<postmaster@xxxxxxxxx>

QUIT

If I can get that far, that's a pretty good test.  That, and I really 
don't want to format an entire email via TELNET.


Also, do you have multiple interfaces defined for CFGTCP?  I use a 
separate one for Domino from i.  Hint:  Make your one for i be a smaller 
number than your one for Domino.  That way all the i clients (ftp, 
telnet...) go out the other address and not that one.
