2343.0. "No external mail for the last 12-18 hours ?" by SMURF::FENSTER (Yaacov Fenster - System Engineering, Troubleshooting and other m) Tue Feb 18 1997 12:36

    Is it just me, or are other people not receiving external mail for the
    last 12-18 hours ?

The problem is that mail1?.digital.com aren't reachable and external mail
that relayed through is queueing until our IP network gets fixed.

    I have Altavista Mail set up to use "relay.dec.com" Mail Gateway. Is
    this still the correct gateway or should I change to another subject to
    the other routing problems being sorted out? I assume relay.dec.com
    points to mail*.digital.com, is that correct?

    relay.dec.com is the correct external gateway realy address, and yes,
    it does point to the mailx.digital.com relays. I've seen no problems in
    the last week or 2.
    
    Make sure, however, that you're not unnecessarily relaying internal
    mail (*.dec.com) through those relays. That should be either be sent
    directly or, if applicable, relayed to mts.dec.com.
