Re: NDR delivery delayed errors keep coming, any advice?

Les,

We are configured for DNS, and have a static IP. According to our ISP, whom
I talked to this morning, we are configured properly for DNS.

The junk e-mail thing is for sure that way with yahoo accounts, but I'm not
sure about the others. One user sent e-mail to a msn and hotmail account,
and I asked him to check with those folks to see if they went to junk mail.

I have ran the CEICW and have the properly defined e-mail domain, so all
should be good there.

Is there a downside to using the ISP as a Smarthost? I migrated to Exchange
for the ability to use OWA, shared calendars, and public folders. Any loss
if I switch?

Thanks for the response!

Mike

How are you configured for sending - Smarthost or DNS?

What type of internet connection do you have (static or dynamic IP)?

Unless you've got a complete set of DNS records, including reverse MX and
SPF, you may have trouble sending via DNS to some domains. A reasonable
alternative is to use Smarthost, sending all outgoing email via your ISPs
mail server.

If emails are recieved at the destination, but go to junk mail at the
receiving end - it's one of two things .... your emails look like spam (the
above points apply here), and/or the recipient needs to adjust their junk
mail/spam filter settings.

Have you run the connect to the internet wizard, and properly defined your
email domain so you're not sending with a .local domain extension?

Les,

Thanks for the response. I will try your suggestions. Since I sent this
note this morning, I have had another user tell me they are getting the
same
issue. This is sending to some of the free e-mails out there, i.e. yahoo,
msn, hotmail. All e-mails from my Exchange server to yahoo seem to be
going
into junk/bulk mail in the recipient's folder. I don't think I have any
control over that, do I? When I send to my personal gmail account and
back,
no issues.

I will post after I have tried what you suggested. I've got to get this
fixed!

Hi Mike,

You need to determine whether the entire recipient domain is affected, or
only certain users you send to at that domain. Here are a few
troubleshooting steps you can take.

Check your exchange queues, and see if you can determine the reason why
the
emails are queued.
Use this kb article to send an email via command line to see if it
succeeds:

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

You can also turn up logging in Exchange, to view the SMTP conversation:

In Exchange System Manager, right click your Server object and select
properties.
On the Diagnostics Logging tab, click on MSExchangeTransport, and SMTP
Protocol, and set logging to maximum.
Expand Protocols, SMTP, default SMTP VS properties, and on the general
tab
enable logging.

Hi folks,

I am getting more of these messages:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.

user@xxxxxxxxxx

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

user@xxxxxxxxxx on 9/16/2007 9:54 AM
Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified.
Please retry or contact your administrator.
<domain.com #4.4.7>

googling and searching MS only leads me to believe that the problem is
on
the receiver's end, but we weren't getting these errors before we moved
to
Exchange four weeks ago, so does that make sense?
Is there a way to suppress my users getting these bounce messages? Any
settings I should check on my end?

How would you debug this? Should I simply contact the receiver's end,
try
to find someone doing their IT work and see if they can tell me what's
going
on?

Just looking for advice..

Mike
