Following situation:
I currently work for the government in a city in the Netherlands. Now they have the following problem. People (internally) can send mail to all addresses but it does not always arrive. Some mailservers won’t react or refuse connections? When we mail from the outside it works!?
Look at this example for the errors generated:
Your message could not be sent.
A transcript of the attempts to send the message follows.
The number of attempts made: 42

(2) Failed to send to identified host,
Could not Connect to Host: mailus1.getronics.com, Error: Unable to connect to server

Failed to send to identified host,
Could not Connect to Host: mailbe3.getronics.com, Error: Unable to connect to server
The list keeps going on, I just took the first events coming from people who tried to send some mail internally to Getronics.
Besides Getronics there are 3 or 4 other maildomains that give the same errors. Other domains work.
The mailserver locally is Exchange 2000. Clients have all Outlook 2000. Settings are not changeable (policies) I hope these are good, will have to take a look at that.
Can someone help at this?
