Re: Undeliverable E-mail

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



All e-mail is set for the "mailbox" option. What's happening is that e-mail
is being picked up by this server for 4 or 5 ameritech.net addresses ..
..these addresses are picked up from pop.ameritech.yahoo.com . SBC is also
picked up there .. now maybe this irrelevant info to the solution but what my
problem is ... is that some mail is not making it to valid recipients on the
internet. What my thinking is ... is that maybe the mail is not making it
out of our network do to routing issues or something based upon the
destinations' extension "ameritech.net" . The truth is I don't know why
most mail (98%) makes it to it's destination on the internet and some (2%)
doesn't. But the company needs all 100% to make it. Is there something I
can do, or check for? I bet someone else has come across a "common" problem
before that resolves this.

Thanks in advance to all who assist. Sincerely, Peter
