Re: Default SMTP virtual server "Current Connections" Stuck

You're program is not saying 'HELO'.

When you initiate a smtp transfer you have to start the 'conversation' by
HELO (or EHLO for eSMTP).

Try it from the command prompt. Telnet to any SMTP server you can think of
(do an MX dig on some random domains) and you will not be able to send a
mail without typing HELO first.

Order:

HELO
MAIL FROM: yoursmtpaddress@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
RCPT TO: whoyouwant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
data
type what you want
..
quit

Hello,

I have a Lanier email\scanner that will not send via the Exchange 2003
Default SMTP virtual server I can see the connection in the "Current
Connections" but it just sit there and never sends.

If I change the scanner to send to my old 5.5 server the messages send
without a problem. Also other scanners on different subnets are working
fine.

I did some testing and this is where it gets stuck.

220 emailserver.domain.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version:
6.0.3790.1830 ready at Tue, 12 Sep 2006 23:03:05 -0400
MAIL FROM:Administrator@xxxxxxxxxx
503 5.5.2 Send hello first

Thanks for the help!
