Down for 4 weeks - apache/perl-OK ->MAIL ENABLE help wanted
Got Mail Enable to POP but it will not SMTP send.
Everyone said 'it is a reverse DNS problem' but a guy in England demonstrated that HIS ME sent mail just fine and he has no reverse DNS (sorry for wasting your time for a week about setting up BIND).
So, I am so close, so ffffing close now. This is the LAST thing I need to debug. Anyone want to give us a hand to get our EDU site working once and for all so I can CLOSE this darn thread?
Here are the stats:
2k box (don't puke paleeez).
T1 hit to 209.234.105.111
ME Std.
ME set for server bigdrivehosting.com
default in my vhost config is bigdrivehosting.com
POP WORKS and Outlook can fetch mail coming to that server.
When I try to send ME kicks back the following email:
MailEnable: Message delivery has been delayed.
Message is waiting at bigdrivehosting.com for delivery to yahoo.com.
Reason: Mail Server for yahoo.com could not be contacted at this time. MailEnable will keep trying to deliver this message and will notify you of any progress.
Message headers follow:
Received: from server ([209.234.105.111]) by bigdrivehosting.com with MailEnable ESMTP; Mon, 02 Feb 2004 14:24:05 -0800

Now my buddy in England was able to send to kckclass easily so I don't think it is an rDNS problem as I thought before because HE DOESN'T have it either.
When I run ME diagnostics, I get a FAIL on the following line:
Local Mail Domain Resolution Test (bigdrivehosting.com) Error: Could not resolve your Local Domain Name in DNS. You should change the local domain name to a domain name that is registered in DNS. This setting is found in the MMC under the properties of the SMTP Connector Error: Could not resolve DNS. (1460) Fail
I went into MY COMPUTER, PROPERTIES, NETWORK, etc. and everything is set for bigdrivehosting.com etc.
HOWEVER, I tried to set my PC up as a member of the domain and it would not do it so I am a member of the group MAIL.
My DNS for bigdrivehosting.com at godaddy is set up as
@ A 209.234.105.111 and
@ MX10 bigdrivehosting.com
I have been to their website and forum and still no answer..
Any ideas from the crew?
