mail server taking too much time to connect
_____
For some reason, one of the servers can't connect to my mail server.
Whenever a user tries to send an email from that server to my server, the
message won't go through and I see the following in the logs
(var/log/exim/mainlog):
2007-02-13 23:56:06
<
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=4364504##> SMTP connection
from (***.ca) [***.***.***.***] lost while reading message data (header)
This problem occurs only with this ***.ca mail server (as far as I know).
In fact, trying dnsreport.com tool on any of my server domains, I am getting
the error message
"ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!
******.com: Timed out [Last data sent: RCPT TO: ]
If this is a timeout problem, note that the DNS report only waits about 40
seconds for responses, so your mail *may* work fine in this case but you
will need to use testing tools specifically designed for such situations to
be certain.
"
PS. I am not having issues with almost all mail servers that send to my
server.
Can someone help/advise?
Thanks.
