One for the exchange guys please if I may....

If I send an email to a remote mail server on another domain or to a company is there any way I can check it got to the remote mail server.

We have a mail thats bounced back and I want to see if the remote mail server got it. Or why it got rejected etc.

Many thanks.

    What does it say for the message? Usually with a bounced message there is a message as to why it was rejected.

    The domain is non existent or they cant find the dns registration for that domain ( sorry Im at home now )

    There website is also down so I think they must host something internally possibly. icon_confused.gif

    Ok - my first thought would be that they may have a DNS issue.

    I think back to basics.

    Can you ping them? If so, what IP address does it return.
    A good cross reference is to do a nslookup to that address and see if you get the same IP. If there are screwed dns records you might see a different IP address there.

    Next, if I have an IP address I would attempt to telnet to the destination.
