OT: Failure of Cox, Google, IMAP and port 993?

[Lisa Kachold]

Verify from command line that you can telnet on port 993 from your servers
to google apps mail servers.

If you cannot get a telnet via port 993 through, do a traceroute via port on
the command line.

Verify that the timeouts are not DNS related.  Did you change your domain
templates recently?

Drop the output of that command into an email and send to both your provider
and the mail support administrator.


Can you test your DNS and ports successfully via this tool:
