Hey everyone. I hope someone can help me. I'm using Argosoft e-mail server and it sends e-mail no prob but when it goes to deliver then I get a winsock error when connecting with exchange "host.mydomain.com : [10060] connection timed out. Any ideas? I have tried diffrent things that I read here but none of them helped. Any ideas will be great. Thanks.

Have you read this,

Quote:

WSAETIMEDOUT - Error 10060 Question/Problem: Connection timed out. Answer/Solution: A connect or send request failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time. (The timeout period is dependent on the communication protocol.) Check the obvious first: check that the destination address is a valid IP address. If you used a hostname, did it resolve to the correct address? If the hostname resolution uses a local host table, it is possible you resolved to an obsolete address. Can you ping that hostname?    Do you have a router configured? Is the router up and running? (You can check by pinging it, and then ping an address on the other side of it.) Try a traceroute to the    destination address to check that all the routers are functioning. Check your subnet mask. If you don't have the proper subnet mask, your network system may treat a local address as a remote address (so it forwards addresses on the local subnet to the router, rather than broadcasting an ARP request locally), or vice versa.

I'm Windows free, so I don't have a real world experience with this.

My concern is why do you see host.mydomain.com

When you should see mail.yourdomainwithsurpass.com

?

Actually teq, I think he is running the mail server on his own little private network and trying to interact it with MS Exchange, if not, then he does indeed need to change it to mail.hisdomain.com

If it is a local network, make sure that the connection between the two servers are not firewalled for the ports that your mailserver and exchange is using. That would explain why you can receive the emails at your mailserver, but not send them from it.

No it really is mail.mydomain.com. Everything is fine there

This is really a 3rd party software issue.. but if you send a report about this to supportsurpasshosting.com I have a feeling someone can help you out, especially Russell.. make the subject Attention Russell.
