Trouble connecting to certain mail servers (MSN)
I have JAMES 1.2.1 set up on an experimental server and havn't had any problems with it... Until now.
I can send mail through SMTP to my hotmail account and to my AT&T account but I get the following error in mailet.log when I try to send to msn.com.
2002.01.28 10:26:44 896 (INFO) from Mailets: RemoteDelivery: attempting delivery of Mail1012285604610-53-!1016723847-to-msn.com to host smtp-gw-4.msn.com.

I thought that smtp-gw-4.msn.com might have gone down (at least briefly) but I could send mail from my AT&T account and another attempt with JAMES produced the same result.
I tried to telnet to smtp-gw-4.msn.com port 25 and got the following.
# telnet smtp-gw-4.msn.com 25
Trying 207.46.181.13...
Connected to smtp-gw-4.msn.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

I'm not sure if there are any clues in that except perhaps for "ESMTP". Is protocol incompatable with 1.2.1? Does anyone have any clues?
Although my server is experimental I'd like to make it production soon so any help would be very well appreciated.

Here's an update on this in case this does turn out to be a james error.
I had 2 messages in the queue to msn that were separated by about an hour. They both failed with the error below on the first attempt to send. Six hours later the first one went through just fine. An hour after that the second one failed again with the same error. Six hours after that it went through as well. I guess that's why mail servers retry, right?
I decided not to worry about it, but if anyone thinks that it's important I'll be happy to do what I can to help.

I think there must be some problem with network access to this host.
Added to which James uses sun's Mail API to deliver the mail so we're not
really in the driving seat when it comes to the details of the transaction.
On the other hand if there is an identifiable problem we could override java
Mail if need be.
