Please help, I can't send Email. Message Delay

[tmac@]

I jus setup mailenable on my windows 2k3 server with IIs 6.0 and Plesk 7.5. Iam using Microsoft Outlook. The problem is when I send an email to anybody, be it Hotmail or even to myself, I get a Message delay error. I can receive email just fine. When I run a diagnostics check in the ME admin. it says that it can't resolve my DNS. I have tried switching my DNS to many different DNS names to no avail. Is this the problem? ANy ideas anyone?
my domain is http://www.thebestdamnwebsiteperiod.com. Thanks in advance.

Same problem here...Anyone got a clue?

I got an answer for my problem. Hopefully, it's the same for you...

There are potentially 2 issues.

1 - MS SMTP service listens on port 25, and so do other appliactions. I have an application called "Mail Enable" installed on my server, which also listens on 25. I disabled MS SMTP and let Mail Enable handle the work. ...This may or may not matter. I'm just telling you what I did to fix my problem.

2 - Somehow, in the SMTP Connector settings for Mail Enable, the Privledged IP's settings were set to deny SMTP for all IP addresses. I never set this, so I have to assume it's set that way by default. GoDaddy tech support found this for me and set it to allow SMTP commands from my local IP.

No more "Delay" messages, and everything works great. Hope this helped.

...Now if I could just get Plesk to let me set up my MSSQL DB!!!!

There's been no reply whether they solved it, so...

Open MailEnable Administrator (Start->Programs->MailEnable) and find Servers->Connectors->SMTP, right click on it->Properties. It opens window with SMTP configuration. I've noticed that after 7.5.5 upgrade a field "Local Domain Name:" is set to "home" instead of my domain where I got nameservers (not ns1.mydomain.com, but only mydomain.com).
Also, check "DNS Address(es):" that they point to your nameserver IP addresses.
Then restart SMTP Connector service and run Diagnose again.
Hopefully, everything should be okay.

Note: you can delete postoffice "home"
