Re: Cannot telnet to port 25 from Windows 2003 SBS server to itself



Hi,

Thank you for posting here.

From your post, you cannot use telnet to connect the Exchange server on
port 25. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.

First, please refer to the following article to make sure you run the
Telnet command correctly.

XFOR: Telnet to Port 25 of IMC to Test IMC Communication:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=153119

Secondly, I would suggest the following troubleshooting steps to narrow
down this problem.

1. On the Exchange server, please run Telnet to connect to the Exchange
server NetBIOS name, FQDN name and IP address. Is it successful?
2. Please use NSlookup to verify if the Exchange server FQDN name can be
resolved in the internal network.
3. Please temporary remove Anti-virus software and Veritas on SBS Server.
4. Make sure SMTP services is started.

Also please refer to following website to re-run CEICW wizard.

A step by step explanation of the CEICW:
