In a nasty way, too -- no SMTP error, the TCPconnectionis simply closed by them immidiately after establishing it.We're notlisted on any RBL/DNSBL and have an active abuse desk. I mailed postmaster () msn com, msnhst () msn com, noc () microsoft com, but didn't get a reply from any of them. Does anyone here knowwho to talkto ?I'd be interested in knowing what you find out. We observed the same thing a while ago from one of our mail servers-- but just one. Connection drops immediately, no clue given as to why. However, from another mail server just a few IP numbers away (in the same /24), the connection goes through just fine. The workaround was obviously to configure the first mail server to relay mail for msn.com via the second one, and to try to get Microsoft to tell us what was up. No luck on that last front though. -mm-
