Re: Inbound email not reaching SBS



James,
I ran a report at dnsstuff.com and the following error came up. It may
or may not be your issue but it needs to be resolved anyway.

DNSreport for jitstaffinginc.com
WARNING: You have duplicate MX records. This means that mailservers
may try delivering mail to the same IP more than once. Although
technically valid, this is very confusing, and wastes resources. The
duplicate MX records are: jits-mntr-svr1.jitstaffinginc.com. and
mail.jitstaffinginc.com. both resolve to 76.228.220.133.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<MDon...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Connected to 76.228.220.133 but connection died. (#4.4.2)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

I thought it was the DNS entry for the static IP address, so I had my ISP
change it and it still doesn't work.

I have Windows SBS SP2 with one NIC card in the jitstaffinginc.local domain;
and the Exchange virtual server is called mail.jitstaffinginc.com for SMTP.

I have tried to test inbound mail via telent, and both intranet and internet
connections do not work.

Any help and/or suggestions will be great :-)
