Re: Figuring out where my e-mail is hanging when sending to a specific company

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

1 - I did a nslookup - the response is from a different server - they have
many e-mail servers - it is a university - it does resolve but not to the
specific e-mail server.
2. I did a telnet but it failed to connect but I know they are able to send
and receive to other clients
I haven't tried 3 yet.
