Sympatico / Nexxia (as577) smtp issues ?
Anyone know whats up with Sympatico / Bell's mail servers ? My customers are asking me why their mail is not getting there nor mail from sympatico is not getting to us. Most mail does not seem to be going through although network connectivity seems fine. I tried from 2 other networks and the issue seems to be the same.

421 #4.4.5 Too many connections to this host. Connection closed by foreign host.
sometimes new email-bourne virii do this :( Suresh might know of a new virus running rampant in the email world? or perhaps others watching mailqueues do?

Well could be a virus outbreak or an extensive spam run that's bogging the servers down Could also be "our hardware is old, tired and melting down, we need to buy some more" time :) -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)
