Can't send SMTP from node

Brian Schilling — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:19:55 GMT

I have a system that won’t send SMTP mail off the node. What is not setup correctly?

Any help would be appreciated!

Look for more specific errors or warnings in the log files located at SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$SMTP]. Also, the output of TCPIP SHOW SERVICE SMTP/FULL would be more informative than what you've posted. And of course see the documentation at:

Brian,

Do a ucx sho config smtp, and look for an alternate gateway. If there is none, add it in.
The gateway, an IP number or host entry, will be where your mail should go to be delivered further up the stream.

Brian,

I should have added, for completion, perform a
ucx set config smtp/gateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to set the gateway.

Is this a setup that was working and stopped? Or something new that hasn't worked yet? Your configuration looks reasonable so see if the other end will accept you. Have a read here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/153119

It's not really Exchange specific, other SMTP relays/servers should respond to the command sequences described.

Cheers,
Art

MarkOfAus,

thank you for your input! but.....

It appears as though you might have found the problem . Thanks for the information below â the command in #2 is what I needed. However, when I compare to one on my systems that is working, it has a DNS name and not an IP address. When using your command, it complains;

UCX$SMTP_COS001_00 1 COS001

Cos001> ucx set config smtp/gateway="MAILFL1.CSOPS.VNUMIS.COM"

%CLI-W-IVKEYW, unrecognized keyword - check validity and spelling

\MAILFL1.CSOPS.VNUMIS.COM\

Cos001> ucx set config smtp/gateway=MAILFL1.CSOPS.VNUMIS.COM

%CLI-W-IVKEYW, unrecognized keyword - check validity and spelling

\MAILFL1.CSOPS.VNUMIS.COM\

Cos001>

What am I doing wrong?

Instead of

ucx set config smtp/gateway="MAILFL1.CSOPS.VNUMIS.COM"

do a:

ucx set config smtp/gateway=alt="MAILFL1.CSOPS.VNUMIS.COM"
