    I am unable to receive email after regrouping from an SMTP hijacking.  I can send email and if someone replies I get it, but otherwise, no incoming email.  What should I check?

    Thanks,

    Vic

    First and foremost, verify your public DNS for your MX records.  It is a bit curious that people can reply to you, though.  Yet, they cannot originate a message to you. 

    Can you send me a test e-mail and I will look at the SMTP headers and test it back to you?  jim (at) cta.net

    Aha!  It looks like you have gotten on to an RBL.   Visit the above URL and see how you can get your IP address removed from the list.

    it's possible if other people are using the same RBL for outgoing filtering. I agree with Jim, what do your MX records point to?

    Hi,

    Please ensure that you have MX record created in Public DNS server.

    You can telent publicdomainname 25 to test the mail flow.

    Please go to http://www.barracudacentral.org/lookups to check the Domain Reputation. Also you can request adjustment of your domain reputation there.

    Regards,
    Xiu

    I just spoke with my provider and they indicated that they were not receiving an answer on port 25.  How can I correct this?

    Thanks,
