Hi,
The e-mail flow stopped again last night, but this time, after hours, so
without manangement wanting the e-mail fixed NOW, I was able to spend
more time determining exactly what was going on.
Several tests confirmed, no outbound SMTP to the internet, and no
inbound SMTP from the internet.
Looked at the ISA logs, did some network captures, could see no
difference between the working and the non working state.
Then as a further troubling shooting step, I put a hub, between the
Internet ADSL router and the External NIC on the ISA server, pluggged in
my notebook, configured an appropriate IP address, tried to telnet
<external IP of the ISA server> 25, and up poped the exchange banner.
Tried to access a few external mail servers from the notebook, no go.
However, web browsing was still working fine, so the modem had not
locked up totally.
Rebooted just the ADSL modem, and it all came good. So it was nothing to
do with the ISA server or exchange, but some strange fault on the ADSL
modem, that SMTP stoped, but as near as I can tell, everything else was
still working.
I'll replace the modem today, with a new one, and hopefull it will be
issued resolved.
As always, thanks anyway for the assistance
Regards
Glenn
