We have been getting user complaints about the inability to send email to Apple MobileMe addresses. In our logs we are getting:
lost connection with mx6.mac.com.akadns.net[17.172.36.34] while receiving the initial server greeting . When I do a telnet SMTP session from the box to their server, I notice that their server does not send an initial 220 message until I send some kind of command, even just typing enter in the session, it will then send the 220 message. Thinking that postfix must wait to get that 220 message before trying to send any commands. Anyone else had this kind of issue? I did notice when I do a telnet SMTP session to that server from my workstation (a Windows machine) I get the 220 message when it connects. Tom Thomas E.
