StevenUnderwood Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Do we have anyone here with an active msn.com address that someone would be willing to accept a test message for me? My Notes logs are showing the following for as far back as the logs go: 10/14/2005 10:57:27 AM Router: No messages transferred to MSN.COM (host MSN.COM) via SMTP: Server not responding 10/14/2005 10:57:32 AM Router: Failed to connect to SMTP host MSN.COM because Server not responding ... 10/21/2005 10:56:06 AM Router: No messages transferred to MSN.COM (host MSN.COM) via SMTP: The remote server is not a known TCP/IP host. 10/21/2005 10:56:08 AM Router: Failed to connect to SMTP host MSN.COM because The remote server is not a known TCP/IP host. however, when I do a MX lookup on msn.com, I get the followng: msn.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx4.hotmail.com msn.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx1.hotmail.com msn.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx2.hotmail.com msn.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx3.hotmail.com If Notes were trying to contact that host, however, it would have said so in the logs as: 10/21/2005 10:56:06 AM Router: No messages transferred to MSN.COM (host mx4.hotmail.com) via SMTP: Notes does sometimes refuse to lookup an address it has already tried but I can find no references to a successful connection to MSN in the last week but lots of logs to search for so I might have missed them. If I had a specific address to search for, it would be much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dra007 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I have given up popping my hotmail account for reporting long ago. Seem that spamcop people were never able to check on that or get back to me. But that may be an unrelated issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G. Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Yes, it's probably unrelated. My SpamCop Email System Account is currently configured to POP (via popgate) from six MSN Hotmail accounts (one of which is set to "Leave on Server"). It used to POP (via popgate) from my MSN account, but that account wasn't spammy enough to warrant the slot usage, so I switched that slot to another (spammier) account.

Wazoo Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 to warrant the slot usage, so I switched that slot to another (spammier) account. 34632[/snapback] A FAQ item of note that I don't remember, haven't seen, or yet to be consturcted ...????

Jeff G. Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Sorry, the official term is "Entry", not "slot", and 10 Entries were scarce resources for me. Please see Email System "POP Configuration" Setup for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Thanks ... definitely a failure mode on my part ... started witht he newsgroup query that led the SpamCop FAQ entry here on "How many accounts do I need" ... I recall asking upstream if there was a hard limit on accessing outside accouts, never got an answer, so could only use wjat I had seen in the "official" FAQ at http://mail.spamcop.net/setup/setup_pop.php which only says "This form has lines to insert several POP servers," .... seeing your "six" reminded me of the no response and the generality .... shame on me for not looking deeper into the FAQ "we" put together ... thanks again ...

dra007 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I tried every conceivable combination including with or without SSL, popping the hotmail account keeps failing. Last attempt: 4 error counts, Cannot contact server. Eventually the logging fails enough times that the account is dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G. Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 My formula for most of my MSN Hotmail Entries is as follows: POP Server: popgate.cesmail.net Username: MSN Hotmail Username[at]hotmail.com (your MSN Hotmail email address) Password: MSN Hotmail Password Leave on Server: Unchecked (my personal preference for most Entries) Use SSL: Unchecked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
