Re: Problem sending mails

It's very simple: both servers consider your IP to be a dynamic one (like ADSL, PPPoE etc). Most servers don't allow emails from dynamic IP addresses. You should ask your Internet provider for a static one. If it's already static, ask them to register it as a static instead of dynamic.

Please DO read the rejected message carefully.
Just go to spamhaus.org, request to remove your ip address from blocked list.

Re: Problem sending mails

Zhang, his server is not in the spam list, it's in the dynamic ip list. Only his ISP can mark the IP as static, as far as I know.

Re: Problem sending mails

Hey guys im also having trouble sending mail. Now I think I might have to call my isp and tell them to show it as static. The thing is I get a time out error.  I can also receive mail too from the gmail account. Just kinda slow 10-15 min, and if that was the only then well then.....

<email@gmail.com>: connect to
    alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[72.14.221.114]:25: Connection timed out

Reporting-MTA: dns; mail.example.com
X-iRedMail-Queue-ID: AAC9A25B76
X-iRedMail-Sender: rfc822; durex@example.com
Arrival-Date: Tue,  1 Dec 2009 03:53:31 -0500 (EST)

Final-Recipient: rfc822; email@gmail.com
Original-Recipient: rfc822;email@gmail.com
Action: failed
Status: 4.4.1
Diagnostic-Code: X-iRedMail; connect to
    alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[72.14.221.114]:25: Connection timed out

I have my DNS as so on godaddy:

A (host) 
@                              xx.xxx.xxx.xxx      (same IP address)
mail.example.com     xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

C (alias)
www              example.com

MX (mail exchange)
0      @      mail.example.com

Thanks for any help in advance!

Re: Problem sending mails

the gmail receive delay 15minute, just because the gray list.

you can sent the email from gmail account second time, would not have any delay.

Well I did read it carefully and I'm not getting a reject message, and i even went to spamhaus.org and checked my IP address is not black listed.
Im getting a timeout error when trying to send.  If needed I can make a new post but this issue seems correct here in this post.  what else can i check to find out why its getting a time out?

Re: Problem sending mails

Please post error log here instead of just saying 'it doesn't work', nobody know what happened to you.

Re: Problem sending mails

I solved the problem.
My Cisco router 1841 was setup wronge. It was catching the traffic from my aal public ip's and routed to the adsl line.
Thanks
