Hello all,

Recently my ISP (Rogers High Speed) has changed its mail configurations, and it was at this time that my Exchange Server decided to stop sending mail.

I am running windows 2000 server, with exchange 2000. Since all of my mail is being sent out through my ISP I have my Smart Host set up to send through their SMTP server. I have authentication set up using my Rogers account. Everything was working fine until they changed their settings.

I have tried clearing my DNS cash, Adding connectors, changing every SMTP setting, plus numerous other fixes I have found on the web.

I have all SP installed, and all windows Updates installed.

I am able to send mail through outlook if I set up a pop account local on a workstation. I have also done a nslookup on various mailservers I am trying to connect to and they all seem to work fine.

I am out of options and I have tried everything.

Could someone shed some light on this....

Thanks,
Eric
