hi,
Can anyone put me in touch to a friendly XO mail admin ? For 36 hours (at least) my mail systems have been refused connections to any of the XO MXes listed in 'dig mx xo.com'.
I've asked some other UK based operators, and roughly three-quarters get connection refused to the example I gave them - dalsmlprd08.dal.dc.xo.com.
Many thanks Andy
