I have a strange problem - suddenly mail is no longer being delivered to or from a network that I manage for a friend. The system has been up and running fine for over a year but now mail just seems to have stoped. No changes have been made to the server since installation a year over a year ago.
I can ping the mail server from outside the network. I can telnet to ports 25 and 110. The mail logs seem to show that everything is working but mail sent to the system is not being delivered to either POP mail boxes or to web-mail boxes. Mail sent out from workstations via email clients does not arrive at the destination. Mail sent from web-mail goes out OK and is received.
Below is some test and log snips.
I hope someone can help me with this as I have done everything that I can think of.
Telnet to port 25 gives this response:
220 CPE-144-136-240-213.wa.bigpond.net.au SMTP daemon ready.
Telnet to port 110 gives this response:
+OK <29570.1075266285@localhost>
