Hi,During February half-term 2014 we changed the MX records associated with xxxxxxxxx.xxxxx.sch.uk to be those of gmail in order to bring the domain fully under the control of our Gapps primary domain. Our Bursar has continued to keep an eye on the LA exchange mailbox and noticed an email that didn't go into our gmail mailbox but went to the LA exchange mailbox. Could anyone shed any light on why this might have happened? Is it a case of studying the message headers?

Hi, URGENT HELP NEEDED! we have a client we look after at work that is having mail routing problems. Internal mail in fine, it is simply anything that is leaving the organisation or coming into the organisation. I am pretty new to exchange and have been lumbered with this problem and am under pressure to get it fixed. below are the results of another engineers testing smtp port 25 Testing inbound SMTP mail flow for domain '[email protected]'. The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer failed to test inbound SMTP mail flow. Test Steps Attempting to retrieve DNS MX records for domain 'DOMAIN.com.au'. One or more MX records were successfully retrieved from DNS. Additional Details Testing Mail Exchanger mail.DOMAIN.com.au. One or more SMTP tests failed for this Mail Exchanger. Test Steps Attempting to resolve the host name mail.DOMAIN.com.au in DNS. The host name resolved successfully. Additional Details Testing TCP port 25 on host mail.DOMAIN.com.au to ensure it's listening and open. The port was opened successfully. Additional Details Analyzing SMTP Capabilities for server mail.DOMAIN.com.au:25 SMTP Capabilities were analyzed successfuly. Additional Details Attempting to send a test email message to [email protected] using MX mail.DOMAIN.com.au. Delivery of the test email message failed. Additional Details The server returned status code -1 - The operation has timed out. Exception details: Message: The operation has timed out. Type: System.Net.Mail.SmtpException Stack trace: at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message) at Microsoft.Exchange.Tools.ExRca.Tests.SmtpMessageTest.PerformTestReally There have been multiple tests run, some email gets into the exchange server, but can take several hours. I have had an email from an engineer that is now on annual leave to tell me what he has tried to do, some of which is: - Disable Antivirus services - Enable POP3 and IMAP4 services - Restarted MS Exchange AD topology and Information Store services - Reboot server - Disable Windows firewall private and Public profile - Created new recipient connector - Created new SNMP connector for port 587 - Changed FQDN of all recipient connectors From remote.DOMAIN.com.au to mail.DOMAIN.com.au and vice versa - Changed remote server Ip addressed range to allow all connection for recipient connector All have been tried and tested yet no joy. he suspects maybe MX hosting service provider issue where email gets delayed or dropped. but not sure where to go with this. Any advise people? thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone. We have purchased 2 new domain names as the principal here wanted a shorter address (as a few other schools here have also done) particularly for email addresses, so we have purchased a co.uk and an org.uk address, but we want to keep the old one too. We have an exchange2010 server with SWGFL, our ISP providing us with an SMTP feed via a smart host. I raised a 'how do you do this' call with SWGfL to check what I was doing as I sort of understood how things work with MX records and email routing, but not really sure, but said that I presumably need to enter MX records for the domains giving the same address as our existing domain, in.mx.ifl.net and then raise a change request with them as they would need to know where to route the mail to (our exchange server). [i was assuming this would involve them just updating a couple of routing rules to match our old domain.] They replied to say that I was correct, so once the order for the domains came through I did the change request, but SWGfL are saying that I need to buy a new SMTP feed from them for each domain that I want to receive email for (at £70 per year each). I know this isn't the biggest amount of money in the world, but it doesn't feel like the correct answer to need a whole new SMTP feed service for each domain. Has anyone done this before or can fill me in with anything I've missed? Many thanks, Meldrew

Hi All, I have been having issues with some domains not receiving our emails, we use Google Workspace and had no issues before with the same domains but suddenly our emails are not getting to them or gets spammed, I have checked MX records and all seems fine. Google have told me everything is fine from their end after checking these email headers. Email logs shows these emails as sent and delivered . I have changed DMARC records to none and still same issue. I did a test to my personal Hotmail and Gmail account and both got delivered to spam folder. Any advice would be much appreciated as this is causing me a headache. Best A
