Re: Setting up SMTP for outbound mail only

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Is this server's DNS resolver capable of resolving remote domains?
What happens when, from the mailserver, you run

nslookup -q=mx live.com

C:\Documents and Settings\Bill>nslookup -q=mx live.com

*** Can't find server name for address 172.30.10.1: Non-existent domain

Server: UnKnown

Address: 172.30.10.1



Non-authoritative answer:

live.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx1.hotmail.com

live.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx2.hotmail.com

live.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx3.hotmail.com

live.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx4.hotmail.com
