Need some SMTP troubleshooting help - Please!.

[Bryan O'Neal]

I thought something similar, but we are going on a week and a half now
and it has never expired.  I even checked with my Yahoo users and they
are using the web client only, which further leads me to believe this is
not the issue..

Just thought I would mention that I know someone whose mail client was
malfunctioning (trying to login with the wrong password over and over),
and their IP was blocked with the same symptoms that you have. Is there
any chance that you did something to trigger their IPS? If so then the
solution is to just wait for the rule to expire :)

	You can check your IP address on dnsstuff.com -- one of their
services
	checks to see if you're listed on any of 200+ Antispam services.
	
	You can also try a manual session, doing a telnet to
a.mx.mail.yahoo.com
	(or any of their other mail relays -- "dig yahoo.com mx" will
give you
	the list) and seeing what it is they don't like about you (I
assume
	conerstonehome.com in the example that follows):
	
	telnet a.mx.mail.yahoo.com 25
	(wait for CONNECT msg)
	HELO mailserver.cornerstonehom.com
	(wait for 2XX response)
	MAIL From: <id at cornerstonehome.com>
<mailto:id at cornerstonehome.com> 
	(wait for response)
	RCPT To: <id at yahoo.com> <mailto:id at yahoo.com> 
	(wait for response)
	DATA
	send something here
	.
	QUIT
	
	You may get a 4XX ("soft"/temp) or 5xx (Hard) reject on one of
the
	responses that should indicate why they don't like you.
	
	HTH,

	(yes I have the "privilege" of getting mail addressed to
postmaster at
	too darn many domains...)
