SMTP problem to Yahoo and AOL

[jess]

Ok, so I switch ISP's from time warner to this crappy little company called Grande. I still have a static IP but all of a sudden, now I can't send to Yahoo or AOL. ARIN doesn't say it's dynamic so what might be going wrong? Arin says:

MailEnable: Message delivery has been delayed.

Message is waiting at mydomain.com for delivery to mx4.mail.yahoo.com.

Reason: Mail Server for yahoo.com could not be contacted at this time. MailEnable will keep trying to deliver this message and will notify you of any progress.

it did work for a couple of days after I updated the DNS in ME and updated from 1.73 to 1.8 but now has stopped again. I'm using a netopia 3386 router with port 110 and 25 UDP and TCP open both ways. Suggestions anyone?

I was using MailEnable successfully with Grande in Austin for quite some time, but now, I am experiencing the same problem you are describing. I can't figure it out. Something had to change. I cannot send or receive emails outside of my domain.

got dns changed to 216-188-250-***.ip.grandenetworks.net now can't send OR recieve. HELP!

[jess]

Ok. the DNS change helped. Had to have them take the stupid port 25 filter off again because they put it back on when they changed the reverse DNS. Try this and is should work for you.
