I did not say to disable mail.homefreeusa.org. I said that server appears to be behind a Cisco PIX firewall and that PIX firewall has the SMTP Fixup Protocol enabled. Disable the SMTP Fixup Protocol on the PIX firewall.

Is there any thing I can do to provide this? Back to your answer, I have deleted the MX record homefreefunding.com /pri 30. Why do I need to disable Mail.homefreeusa.org, because when I receive mail it will first check mail.homefreeusa.org w/priority 10 and if it is not available it will check mail2.homefreeusa.org /pri 20 if I disable mail.homefreeusa.org, I will not receive any mails right!! "John Tolmachoff (Lists)" <johnlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: http://www.MSExchange.org/ Problems you have: 1. Your MX record for homefreeusa.org with a priority of 30 should be deleted as it is invalid. MX records must point to a host, not a domain. When some one on the Internet sends an e-mail to you, the sending e-mail server does a DNS query for the MX record of your domain. The MX record is there to tell the sending e-mail server which host on the Internet to connect to. 2. Mail.homefreeusa.org is behind a PIX firewall with the SMTP Fixup protocol enabled. Disable that. 3. Mail2.homefreeusa.org at IP 209.219.39.140 is not responding to connection requests. Reasons could be the following: A) The ISP is blocking inbound port 25 to that IP. B) The server is off line. C) The IP of the server has changed. D) A firewall in front of the server is down or misconfigured. E) There is a problem at the ISP. F) There is a problem at an upstream router. NOTE: Doing a tracert gets to 209.219.39.202 and times out after that. Use that information to troubleshoot.
