Watir Tutorial
Woo hoo! Done! (For now.)
Troubleshooting SMTP Issues with Telnet
I have really bad memory. I have to write this down. I just know I will forget it, but need it later.
I had to find out why one user did not receive any mail from us. I tried the usual things, but all looked fine. My developer suggested to troubleshoot it with telnet. I found good article about troubleshooting SMTP issues. What I did:
- open command prompt
- find server
>nslookup -querytype=MX [domain]
...
Non-authoritative answer:
[domain] MX preference = [integer], mail exchanger = [subdomain].[domain]
...
- connect to that machine with telnet
>telnet [subdomain].[domain] 25
-
good
220 SMTP Proxy Server Ready -
not so good
554 Transaction Failed Listed in connection control deny list
