Well your email server now responds in port 25 :)

Well, I hadn't thought to stop/start SMTP (should have know that), so I just
got done restarting the following:
SMTP
Exchange Info Store
Exchange Management
Exchange Routing Engine
Exchange System Attendant

Then I've rerun CEICW.

Last, I reset the Authentication for the SMTP Connector in ESM to that of
dyndns.org's requirements (always gets set to No Authentication when I run
CEICW).

Hope it works.

Hello,

If mail.whoopingcrane.org is your servers DNS name, I tried to telnet in
on port 25 and could not. Have you changed anything in the router ?

Have you tried to restartthe Simple Mail Transport Protocol in services
?

Do you have any anti virus or spam that received email on 25 and
forwards to Exchange ?

Of the 5 attempts I made, one looked like it connected but either it was
not exchange (as it did not give me an introduction banner) or it ran so
slow it dumped me out.

Thanks

============================
For unknown reasons, we stopped getting inbound email about mid-morning.
We
can send fine and receive email from within the LAN. I was not working
on
the server at the time. Nothing remarkable in the Event Viewer.
I've rerun CEICW 3 times, re-strarted all the Exchange services 2 twice
and
even re-started the server. Same results. (I use www.dnsreport.com) --
mail.whoopingcrane.org. - 70.41.130.208 [Could not connect: Could not
receive data: Winsock error #10054.]Any suggestions?
