Entschildigung Sie, bitte?  Telnetting to the SMTP port (which is what
the 'smtp' directive tacked onto the end of the telnet command below)
will connect you to the SMTP server.  Period.  Telnetting to any server
without explicitly naming a port will attempt to connect to the telnet
port, 23.  You can replace smtp with 25 if you don't have an accurate
services file/settings.
 
telnet my.mailserver.com 25
OR
telnet my.mailserver.com smtp
 
WILL open an SMTP session with the mail server, if one exists, and there
are no connection problems.  Period.  This is how Internet SMTP email
works.

NOT when the mail server is Linux based - it simply telnets into the
server.

The directions posted below ARE by SMTP.  If it works, mail is working.

I can get to it no problem. Just not by SMTP.

Log onto the ISA server, open a cmd prompt, and type
telnet my.recalcitrant.mail.server.com smtp
and see what it says.

I posted about this yesterday, but so far no response.
 
I went to set up Intrusion Detection Alerts, intending that it should
send an email to my pager.  No matter what I do it will not connect to
the mail server I specify.
 
DNS is right, and I can ping that server by name (it is outside of ISA).
I have relay rights through that server - its logs show no connection
attempts from the ISA IP.
 
I set up the fake Identd server (from ISA CD), and made sure that Identd
& SMTP were allowed through ISA. Still no go.
 
Anyone ??  What have I missed here ?
