iis smtp nntp : "C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue" - SCRIPT SOURCE included
[quoted text, click to view]
I'm running Windows 2000 Professional. Below is a simple VBS that I wrote to send e-mail. For some reason, after executing it, an .EML file iscreated in "C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue" but it will not send. What should I do to make it send?? Thank you! 'BEGIN SCRIPT Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message") objMessage.Subject = "Test" objMessage.Sender = "admin@nospam.com" objMessage.To = "myemail@myplace.com" objMessage.TextBody = "This is a test." objMessage.Send 'END SCRIPT
From the Event Viewer:
"Message delivery to the remote domain 'myplace.com' failed for the following reason: Unable to bind to the destination server in DNS. " How do I fix this?

Can you tell me where I can correct my DNS?

Thank you. DNS has been set and NSLOOKUP.EXE is reporting successfully.
But the *.EML is still not sending and is still sitting in the queue with the same Event log entry. Any other suggestions? Thank you.

When all else fails - become a SMTP client by emulating the steps all SMTP clients must follow. Given destination address: myemail@myplace.com Step 1) Lookup the MX host servers for the email domain: myplace.com NSLOOKUP -QUERYTYPE=MX myplace.com This will turn all the SMTP SERVERS at myplace.com that are available to send mail to. Assuming myplace.com is a valid domain, lets see what NSLOOKUP returns: V:\bin> nslookup -querytype=mx myplace.com Server: dns.mia.bellsouth.net Address: 205.152.144.23 myplace.com primary name server = trudeau.unitedstates.com responsible mail addr = aidan.trudeau.unitedstates.com serial = 2004120210 refresh = 10800 (3 hours) retry = 3600 (1 hour) expire = 604800 (7 days) default TTL = 86400 (1 day) I'm doing this from my home machine where my provision, bellsouth.net serves as my DNS server. It returns no MX records. Per SMTP standard specification, the rule is to TRY each MX domain in the list returned (no consideration expansion concepts normally done for larger systems like an AOL.COM), and if there are no MX, then try to connect the IP address of the email domain directly atleast *ONCE*. So lets assume again, this is the actual domain you are trying and not just an example you provided. If this is the case, the IP for myplace.com is done by getting the A record for it: V:\bin> nslookup -querytype=A myplace.com Server: dns.mia.bellsouth.net Address: 205.152.144.23 Non-authoritative answer: Name: myplace.com Address: 64.26.130.103 In this case, it is EXPECTED to be an SMTP server running at that IP address. Lets see. Step 2) Connection to the MX host records or the non-MX single A record. The easiest way to test a connection is to telnet on port 25, so type: TELNET 64.26.130.103 25 Lets see what happens....... Connecting To 64.26.130.103...Could not open a connection to host on port 25 : Connect failed Ok, so there you have it. If MYPLACE.COM was the actual domain, then there is NO SMTP SERVER running at this IP address on port 25. Lets try it for a normal email address, like jeff's address; jeff@zina.com Again, get the MX host domains for zina.com like illustrated in step 1: V:\bin>NSLOOKUP -querytype=MX zina.com Server: dns.mia.bellsouth.net Address: 205.152.144.23 Non-authoritative answer: zina.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = inbound.registeredsite.com zina.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = smtp.zina.com zina.com nameserver = ns3.hosting4u.net zina.com nameserver = ns.hosting4u.net zina.com nameserver = ns2.hosting4u.net inbound.registeredsite.com internet address = 64.224.219.122 smtp.zina.com internet address = 209.15.38.159 ns.hosting4u.net internet address = 209.15.2.3 ns2.hosting4u.net internet address = 209.15.2.4 ns3.hosting4u.net internet address = 209.15.3.1 Ok, there are two MX domains: zina.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = inbound.registeredsite.com zina.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = smtp.zina.com The preferences is to contact/try inbound.registeredsite.com first, and if that fails, try the second one at smtp.zina.com Now get the A record(s) for inbound.registeredsite.com V:\bin>nslookup -querytype=A inbound.registeredsite.com Server: dns.mia.bellsouth.net Address: 205.152.144.23 Non-authoritative answer: Name: inbound.registeredsite.com Address: 64.224.219.122 Now try to telnet to this address on port 25 VIOLA, "Houston! We got a SERVER!" 220 inbound.registeredsite.com ESMTP SMTP Service (NO SPAM/UCE) Now you begin a normal SMTP session. 220 means the SERVER is ready! Anything else, means it is not ready to receive your commands. 3) SMTP Session Once you connect, typically you have 5 commands or steps to follow in sequence. I will use the simpliest for illustration purposes: HELO client.machine.domain.name MAIL FROM: <address of mail sender, not necessarily the author > RCPT TO: <address of receiver of mail> DATA start sending your email body ending with a "." line QUIT So assuming your example transaction was correct, this what you would type: C: HELO mail.myplace.com S: 250 Hi there! C: MAIL FROM: <admin@nospam.com> S: 250 mail from accepted C: RCPT TO: <myemail@myplace.com> S: 250 user accepted C: DATA S: 354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF> From: Admin@nospam.com To: myemail@myplace.com Date: date of message Subject: test This is a test. .. <<-- note the dot S: 250 Message accepted C: QUIT S: 250 BYE! Thats basically it! Have fun! --- Hector Santos WINSERVER "Wildcat! Interactive Net Server" http://www.winserver.com
