aioshin Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 have you tried your other email, like your yahoo mail... also try to ping that mx1.hotmail.com or try to send an email from your mta thru telnet session just to see if your mta can send using other option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtis e. bear Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 (edited) Yah, yahoo and hotmail mail both works from a client machine (the mandake machine is the server) running xp. I cannot ping mx1.hotmail.com however do you think mx1 is mail exchange 1 and i need to create an alias or somthing like that so it knows where to go for the hotmail address?
