I'm wondering if he is experiencing any other signs of flaky internet connection. Like in browsing etc etc. Ive seen mtu issues do this.

But that wouldn't have anything at all to do with telnetting to 25, which I
can do, but I now see that others cannot.  A blacklist or etc will not
affect that.

It only effects incoming email.

You can get around it by using a smarthost. Your cable company probably allows
you to use their server for such purpose. That's how I get around it.

I thought that would affect my outgoing mail - not incoming!

according to dsnstuff.com you are listed on 3 blacklists and have no reverse
DNS entry. That's enough right there to cause you to have inconsistant
incoming email issues.

Amy:
DNS seems to be working (mail.networkblade.com resolves to the correct IP),
"I" am not blacklisting and I don't know how to Grey list.

The ISP (cable company) is always suspect of everything else.

So assuming that this used to work you've eliminated the other obvious things besides filtering like bad DNS, flakey ISP, blacklisting, grey listing, etc?

Good questions!
Thor: I was referring to Exchange filtering NOT ISA. I was not aware of the
NOOP config in the SMTP filter properties.
Amy: By client I mean another account with a separate ISP and Exchange server
somewhere else in the world. i.e. NJ.

Just to make sure we're saying the same thing.. Not filtering via Exchange and
3rd party- the ISA SMTP filter.  You disabled that?

Thor - thanks but I've turned off ALL filtering via Exchange and 3rd party
software.

I've tried connecting (via telnet) from multiple locations (ISP) and from
Exchange 2003 and SBS 2003. Some work and Some don't. When watching the ISA real-time logs, the connection is initiated then 5 seconds later it is then
closed by the Exchange publishing rule.

A 12-pack for the one who gets this one!

Check your SMTP filter settings for command lengths... NOOP has been
problematic before at its default of 6 - I changed mine to 20 after sniffing
traffic and determining some older Exchange boxes were padding NOOP with
spaces..

Hope someone can help!

I think this is an ISA 2004 (patched) issue.

From some clients I can send/receive email just fine (and telnet port 25). But
from other clients I can not. I monitored the ISA logs and observed the
connection initiated then being closed.

From Exchange 2003 box I shut of IMF and GFI services - still not luck
receiving email or telnet'ing from a particular client.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
