The email is not being delivered, 1) I tried sending to a yahoo account I could verify and it did not arrive, spam filter or no. 2) My mail server believes it can not open a connection. 3) I can not seem to get a telnet connection. I have tried 'telnet mail.yahoo.com 25' and 'telnet yahoo.com 25' from every ISP I can find (COX, QWEST, TWTC, etc.) but it just times out. Same for AOL, and other major providers. No luck their unless some one has a better way to do it. -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Craig White Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 7:34 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: Need some SMTP troubleshooting help - Please!.

Have you checked? #4 Is it possible that the e-mail is delivered to a 'spam' directory instead of people's INBOX?
