Server dropped connection

Hi!
I cannot send email because the destination server drops my connection.
In mail.log I get the following entry:
"... server dropped connection without sending the initial SMTP greeting)"
Does anybody know what I can do that my mail server connection is accepted?

I tried it with two different mail servers: gmx and chello - as you can see below. But it didn't work. I tried with squirrlmail and apple mail - no success.
Here is my mail.log:

  • Server dropped connection without sending the initial SMTP greeting

    Whenever anyone tries to send email to addresses from the domain 'cwbank.com' they receive the error emessage:
    connect to smtp.ab.tac.net[216.123.224.167]: server dropped connection without sending the initial SMTP greeting
    If I use other mail servers, the message goes through without a hitch.
    Prior to this week we could send email to this domain.
    Port 25 is open on the receiving server (216.123.224.167).
    A few weeks ago, we were 'blacklisted' because another server on the same subnet was spamming. And a few ISPs (Godaddy, 1and1, etc.) blacklisted the whole subnet instead of the offending IP. We don't seem to be having any more problems with getting RBL rejections anymore. Typically those error messages were returned as '550 RBL rejection' errors. I'm wondering if this might be related.
    Any other thoughts on the subject?

    Well, the other thing that could be happening is that the mail servers at these 4 IPs might have their own hardwired IP block on some range of IPs that you are in. We know that is not being done at their firewall (you can connect and get the greeting), but might be done with, for example, a postfix config that prohibits connections from certain IP ranges.
    There's another possibility, namely, that they are picky about DNS config. Your IP of 68.150.192.151 seems to have a good reverse DNS PTR record that matches the SMTP HELO greeting when I telnet to your server:
    mail:~ admin$ telnet 68.150.192.151 25
    Trying 68.150.192.151...
    Connected to ns.boxclever.ca.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 mail.boxclever.ca ESMTP Postfix
    quit
    221 Bye
    Connection closed by foreign host.
    and, reverse DNS:

    Maybe they won't talk to any server whose name given in the Reverse DNS PTR record doesn't have an A Record that matches. You might want to check that.

  • Issue with AFP server dropping connections on 10.8.5 server 2.2.2

    We are having issues with users getting dropped from their AFP server shares.
    These issues did not start happening until we upgraded to 10.8.5 and server 2.2.2
    the first symptoms were an occasional user would lose his / her active connection while copying files. They were unable to disconnect from the network shares without physically disconnecting the LAN or disabling the network on their system. Once the connection was removed they could reconnect to the network and establish their AFP shares again.
    However this his escalated to every user losing connections to their AFP shares at the same time.
    The server has no AFP error in the AFP error log however we are getting diskutil crash reports at around the same time. (See Below)
    The server has
    smalltree 1x6 8254 with latest drivers supporting a LACP bonded 6 pair connecting to an edgecore (LACP configured)switch.
    small tree 10Gb card directly connected to an edit station.
    onboard ethernet connected to switch in support of DHCP & DNS. (previous version of server would not see the bonded pair)
    Two Accusys A12S2's
    (we did not have this dropping connection issue before the upgrade to server 2.2.2 and OSX 10.8.5)
    Users connected to any network connection to the server appear to be affected when the AFP shares are disconnected. Direcet connect, onboard ethernet port and Bonded pair connections)
    diskutil verifies all shared drives appear to be ok. (All Green)

  • Users randomly dropping connections to Mavericks Server

    Hello,
    We recently implemented a new server for a client - a new Mac Mini running 10.9.4 and the latest version of Server (3.1.2), with shares residing on a Promise Pegasus R8 raid (thunderbolt). Prior to this, they had a Mini running 10.8.5 (with Pegasus R6 raid) with no issues. Immediately since implementation of the new server, we have been coming across an intermittent issue, where two different users will lose their connection to the server at very random times. When this happens, it does not happen to both of them - it will be either one user, or the other, but never at the same time. Both of these users are on Macs running 10.9.4 as well. There are other users in their office - some on 10.8.5 and a couple others on 10.9.4, but they do not have the issue. I have also verified that the two users that are having the issue are connected via AFP, not SMB.
    On a side note I have noticed that some users (including the two with problems, but also others as well) will have multiple simultaneous connections, shown in the server app/connections, and sometimes from multiple IP addresses (and none of which is their *current* IP address). I have to reiterate that NO problems like this have happened in the past, and no network changes were made (other than an attenuator added to their router shortly after the new server was implemented, though the problems were happening before this). This only started happening with the new server config.
    I have combed through logs on both workstations and the server; nothing seems obvious to me, though I am no expert on deciphering logs either. So I am looking for some help, please! They are working on Adobe Creative Cloud files from the server when this happens, and it has caused a few very important files to go corrupt.
    If there is any more information I could provide that will be of help, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Jessica

    We have a similar setup with a Mac Mini and a thunderbolt NAS device connected for the shares.  We had users having trouble connecting to the shares and staying connected.  After a while of testing, we found that the issue occurred when using AFP and not when using SMB; we had both enabled as we do have windows computers in the environment.  We have since completely disabled AFP and now everyone has to use SMB which has resolved the issue for us.

  • 10.7.3 MBP Wifi Problem - Endless Timeouts & Dropped connections

    I've been reading around here a bit already and so I know many other people are having Wifi issues with Lion, but given that there are so many discussions and so many pages of talk, it's hard to go through it all, and using the search I haven't found anything that's quite similar to what I'm experiencing, so I'm starting a new topic...
    Basically, I've got a late 2006 MacBook Pro, installed 10.7.1 (form 10.6.8) on in back in Aug 2011 and everything seemed to be fine. I updated to 10.7.2 sometime in Jan and still didn't notice any issues, but wasn't using Wifi at all at the time.
    Then in Feb I moved and started using wifi (with a Cisco N router), and noticed that often, the system would not automatically reconnect to the network after waking up from sleep. Just selecting the network manually worked on the first try every time though, so it wasn't so bad.
    At the end of April, I finally got around to installing the 10.7.3 update. I read it was supposed to fix wifi issues and so was looking forward to it. It installed fine and didn't seem to cause any problems...
    2 days later I moved again (to India), and all **** broke loose... Now, I can rarely connect to wifi (a Beetel G router, configed with WPA). Around 25% of the time, the network won't show up in the list (despite being a clear 5ft from the base station), and when it does show up, 95% of the time I get a "connection timeout" error - often immeadiately, but sometimes it takes about 10sec to respond. On the same network, 2 Win 7 Dells and an iPad 1 all work flawlessly - it's not the router...
    One the occasions that I am able to connect, it usually works fine, but if I put the computer to sleep and wake up again, there's no guarentee that the connection will work again - it's back to the lottery. And sometimes even when it's connected, the wifi stays (according to the menu indicator) but the internet connection disappears (to the point I can't even ping the router - 100% packet loss, let alone any internet server)
    I've tried zapping everything I can think of (PRAM, SMC), repairing permissions, clearing the remembered networks from the System Prefs, deleting old Locations and creating new ones etc. I have a clean install of 10.7.1 that I booted off of, but it still had the same issues!

    I'm pretty savy with computers and have dealt with all kinds of stuff before, but this one is beyond me, and is really annoying! I konw my machine is old, but it was totally useable up until these Wifi issues, and now wifi is basically useless.
    From what I've read, it seems like its a driver issue with the Atheros card in my machine, but most people seem to be complaining about dropped connections (mine rarely drops) rather than timeout connection issues. I've also never had the "hardware not found" issue that many people have, so I think this is something different.
    Anyone out there have any advice? I'm getting close to losing it with wifi since the update!

    Sorry - to add:
    I don't think it's a question of WPA vs. WPA2, or even channel number - I have 2 identical routers here and neither work (both default to WPA Ch 11) but I changed one to WPA2, new SSID, various channels and still had the same problems.
    Another thing to note that should be irrelevant, but who knows: the Firewire controller on my machine died back in Fall 2010 - to the point where the system won't start-up unless I remove the IOFirewire***.kext from /System/Library/Extensions , and as soon as I do that, it works flawlessly (minus Firewire). It meant I had a **** of a time installing Lion becuase I can't boot off the Recovery Partition (which has the drivers baked into it), but by cloneing my HD, installing Lion onto the clone via a borrowed machine, removing the .kext's and cloning back, I got it on and everything seems to be fine otherwise... I posted about that problem before, but never got any answers. And it wasn't just me, my father has a late 2007 MBP and the same firewire issue happened to his within 5 days of mine (not a power spike - I think it was shortly after some system update if I remember correctly).

  • LaserJet Pro P1102w dropping connection

    I hope someone can help. We have been having a long term issue with our HP LaserJet Pro P1102w wifi printer keeping a stable connection to our network. It connects to our network via wifi. It is in a high signal wifi area of the office.
    In the printer network settings I have tried setting the printers IP as static and also tried it as dynamic being assigned by our DHCP server.
    The problem is the printer keeps randomly dropping connection in that we can no longer print to the printer / access the printers webpage or ping the printer. The problems is fixed by either powering down and restarting the printer or if you leave the printer after a period of time the printer will once again be contactable (by doing nothing).
    I have updated the printers firmware, computers printer drivers. Checked network settings but just cannot resolve the issue.
    It's driving me crazy!

    Thanks for the clarification Angus,
    Try disabling the Auto Off feature, this current configuration actually turns the printer Off after 5 minutes idle (Any key pressing will turn the printer On, but any remote command as printing or accessing the printer page will fail..
    You may enter the EWS by entering the printer IP through Safari.
    Enter the Settings tab.
    Select Print Settings and turn the Auto Off after as Never.
    Click Apply and reboot the device, then check for any change.
    Now reboot the device and check for any chnage,
    Shlomi
    Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

    HI,As you said Its dropped off from domain meaning it already disconnected the connection from AD.Thats why UPA is not working.Once the server is added back to Domain,The UPA will not connect to automatically.So iwould suggest to create the UPA connections
    again and crawl the Import.Check the below link on the issue with UPA.

  • Firefox 3.5 and up randomly drop connections

    Greetings! The problem I'm having is: Every time I've tried to install and use Firefox 3.5 and up, as I'm browsing the web and I go to, say, click on a link, Firefox will randomly "drop" the connection. It'll pause for 10-15 seconds, then pop up a generic "cannot find server" message. I then go to reload the page, and for another 10-15 seconds it won't even attempt a connection -- it'll just instant-reload with the same generic "cannot find server" message. After that, it will mysteriously be able to connect just fine... for about 2-5 minutes. The problem repeats... over and over...
    I should mention that I constantly have a "ping www.rr.com" window open in the background, and even when Firefox is "unable to connect", the ping window shows my connection is just fine. All of my other programs are able to connect just fine as well -- only Firefox 3.5+ or programs based off of Firefox 3.5+ (SeaMonkey 2.x) have this problem.
    Thinking it might be an addon problem, I've completely uninstalled (even using Revo Uninstaller) and reinstalled Firefox 3.5+, and even with absolutely no extensions installed, it still randomly drops connections.
    This problem also happens on my netbook PC, again with a fresh Firefox install (even on a fresh Windows format + install) and a solid ISP connection.
    I can confirm encountering this problem with Firefox 3.5.4, 3.5.5, 3.6.6, and even with SeaMonkey 2.0.3 and 2.0.5. On the other hand, Firefox versions 2.0.0.20 and SeaMonkey 1.1.18 are NOT affected by this problem.
    I hope this problem can be resolved soon, since sites like Youtube are starting to really dislike Firefox 2.0, and I'd like to use up-to-date browser extensions. :(
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Every time I've tried to use Firefox 3.5 and above

    Using
    *Comcast Broadband*textMotorola SB5101*textWindows 7 Home Premium*textCisco Linksys *textFireFox 3.6.7*textNorton Security Suite
    and it happens to this home too.

  • Verizon DSL connection drops connection randomly, already on second modem.

    We are currently running an D-link DSL-2750B modem/router in our home. Typically we run close to 6MBps. We are having very bad stability issues with our modem. we have tried changing how it is connected to outlets, how it is connected to computers, everything. Currently I have my pc connected to it through lan, and it is the only device connected to internet right now. I seem to just drop connection and have to restart my modem, this has been an issue with two modems, the same type, that they have sent us. Before we were only getting 1MBPS while paying for 7MBPS, the issue magicaly fixed it self after a call to verizon. So to ilistarte how large this problem is, I have two tracroutes, one to verizons website and one to the online server of a game I play. Notice that on all the traceroutes on hop 5 we have a time out right after the same ip,

  • WAP321 Dropping Connection since firmware Upgrade

    MyWAP321 is dropping connections at least once a day since upgradiing to firmware 1.0.1.10. before the upgrade I had no problems and I have another WAP321 with firmware 1.0.0.3 that never drops connection. Is anybody else having this problem since upgrading?                   

    Hi ,
    Ive just installed this WAP 321 wiht Radius server authentication.
    I have the firmware version 1.0.2.3 and this WAP is now having Connection dropout and dosent connect again.
    I have to do re try for several times and again it starts working.
    Please see the log and advice me what is happeing inside it and why this connection is not staying persistent with the associated wireless clients.

  • Wrt54gs drops connection

    Forgive me if this has been addressed somewhere on here - i looked for a similar situation and couldnt find one--this is wordy, but hopefully it is useful info to solve the issue.
    My future father-in-law runs a Sony Vaio with Windows XP with SP2, on Charter hi-speed internet through a Motorola cable modem.  virus and firewall are from Trend Micro.  Comp and modem are approx 5 years old. They just got a WRT54GS (v. 7 i believe) and had no problems setting it up right out of the gate - he used the LELA interface and was up and running in no time.  all night it was fine.  The problems started the next day, when they tried to get on the internet.  Their homepage is MSN, and it wouldnt load up.  they also tried to go to several of thier regularly visited websites, nothing worked.  Eventually they gave up and disconnected the router, going directly through the old modem.  that let them back online for about an hour, then it dropped the connection and they couldnt get it back. finally, they un-installed the LELA software and everything was back to normal.
    My future F-I-L wanted to be able to work from home with his laptop, which was the whole reasone for the router, so this weekend i went over to set everything back up.  We got the router re-installed, everything was communciating properly, and they were back in business.  His laptop was at work, so i planned to go over today to get that connected.  when i got there, they informed me that they couldnt get on the internet anymore.  yesterday was fine, nobody tried to get on during the day, and this evening the problem started.
    I checked connections (all good), un-hooked the router, and had the same non access problems, so i dumped the software as well.  read a bit online and then re-installed everything, it wouldnt let me onto the internet, so i went into the router and changed the IP to 192.168.2.1.  released the DHCP and renewed it, and everything was great.
    Then tried to connect the laptop (ibm thinkpad, win XP SP2) had some troubles, mis-entered the WAP key, fixed that, and got on the internet with the laptop.  Everything seemed good, but when he tried to access his work server (via LotusNotes) it wouldnt allow him in.  something about the tcp/ip being denied.
    The laptop is running PcAnywhere, which i have read may have issues.  One thing i noticed is that LELA recognized the laptop twice.  once as an actual computer with the right name, and once as an unknown device.  unless i disable pcAnywhere and the  IBM access connections software, the recognized laptop doesnt access the network, only the unknown device does.
    1.) Is the re-assigned IP solution the best way to handle the dropped connection?  did it even really solve the problem?
    and
    2.) is the laptop connection issue something with the router, or something with the different programs on the computer itself?

    Hi,
             I think u will need to upgraded the firmware for the router

  • Problem with dropped connections...

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with dropped connections. Let me explain...
    I have a computer with Windows XP SP3 where I have installed Toad, PuTTY and Oracle 10g client. I need to connect to several database and Linux hosts and have a strange problem. What happens is the following:
    1 - When I arrive at a customer location, I boot up my computer (I'm not using hibernate or standby) and plug-in to the network.
    2 - After I login to Windows, every session in PuTTY (to Linux), SQL*Plus or Toad (to database) gets dropped after only a few seconds.
    3 - I reboot my computer again, and everything works fine.
    I have no explanation for this beahavior. This happens across different customers, database versions and Linux OS kernels and versions. It seems to be related to something in my computer that is fixed on the 2nd restart.
    Has anybody experienced any similar problem?
    Thank you!

    I plug directly at client's site.
    And I can access the web and messaging on the first reboot... the only thing that appears to be malfunctioning is putty and toad as I stated above.
    Edited by: pmcatarino on Oct 24, 2008 6:25 PMDoes that mean you can ping to the server without problem when putty and toad having problem?
    If you install an Oracle client on your machine and configure TNS, will the sqlplus drop as well? Or download and install SQL Developer, see if SQL Developer having any problem connect.

  • Some healthcheck.htm requests do not respond (dropped connection)

    Hi,
    Several (most) of the services on our Exchange server don't return a valid response when querying their "health check" URL.
    These are OK:
     - /ecp/healthcheck.htm (200 OK)
     - /owa/healthcheck.htm (200 OK)
     - /powershell/healthcheck.htm (200 OK)
    But these fail with an instantly dropped connection:
     - /autodiscover/healthcheck.htm
     - /ews/healthcheck.htm
     - /mapi/healthcheck.htm
     - /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/healthcheck.htm
     - /oab/healthcheck.htm
     - /rpc/healthcheck.htm
    There are no errors or warnings noted in the event logs, and all services work normally for all users, but I don't see the failed requests in IIS' logs.
    What can be causing this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    According to your description, the health check URL cannot work for certain requests. And I’d like to confirm if there is any connection issue for your clients.
    Based on my research, here is a similar thread:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/e9ee04de-9b62-44e7a-85db-3fff160dddd2/healthcheckhtm-not-accessible-for-several-protocols?forum=exchangesvradmin
    We can try to restart Exchange Health Manager service to resolve the issue as the above thread.

  • Linksys E2000 drops connection

    Hey everyone, I have had my Linksys E2000 for a few months now. But up until now, I havent used the wireless settings too much, I have had everything hardwired into the router. 
    I decided last week to set up the wireless settings so that I can connect my PC and Xbox's wirelessly. They are all within about 10 feet from the router. The connection is fine for a while, but after a few days it begins to degrade. I opened up a command line and pinged 192.168.1.1 to see results of 150+ms on my PC wirelessly. Wired it was about 2ms.
    All of my devices have a static IP address on the LAN, and one of my Xbox's is in the DMZ, still dropping connection often. I moved my PC and DMZ Xbox to another room on the second floor of my house and its still about the same speed.
    I set my old wireless G router up and its working fine......but I use my PC as a home media server, so 54mbps is very slow for media that needs upwards of 100+mbps. My ISP subscription is about 12mbps, which I get all 12 of those on a hardwired machine, but a wireless on the E2000 is lucky to get 3 of those.
    I have everything set up correctly in the router settings, MTU of 1500, with only Wireless N broadcasting. I also noticed that the E2000 will drop connection much faster if the SSID is hidden.My old Wireless G router is getting pings of less then 1ms wirelessly.
    I have the Xbox S models and my wireless adapter is a Edimax wireless N adapter. Could this be a defective router? Any options to try to fix the problems?

    I'm experiencing similar problems as well.  I'm going to try these settings out and see what happens.  Reseting my router fixes the problem, but I don't want to have to do this once a week or more.  My WRT54GS worked great, but I wanted the speed that N had to offer.   Its rather annoying because I hate having to go upstairs every time I need to reset my router in order to get an IP address on my wireless laptop downstairs.
    This seems to be an apparent problem among Wireless-N in general.  D-Link, Linksys and Netgear all seem to have problems with dropped wireless-N connections on their routers too. Read the reviews on Amazon & Newegg for yourself.

  • CSM: server-initiated connections

    Hello
    I hope you can help me to figure out this question, I have a CSM module with more than 10 serverfarms, all of them working fine, and all of them are on different vlans. We are using route mode for all of them.
    For example:
    ServerFarm01-> Vlan10
    Client_Side01-> Vlan11
    ServerFarm02-> Vlan20
    Client_Side02-> Vlan21
    ServerFarm03-> Vlan30
    Client_Side03-> Vlan31
    and so on...
    I noticed something, When I generate outbound traffic from a real server, it does not matter it belong to SeverFarm01, 02 or 03; the packet leaves the CSM using alway the vlan31.
    Can you please help to determine what’s going on?
    Actually, we want realservers from ServerFarm01 to sent traffic to internet through the CSM, and those traffic should be seen on vlan11.
    Thankds and Regards
    Edgar

    Hi Edgar,
    Few things to check.
    Check if the servers has two interface. It may be sending traffic through other interface.
    Please go through below configuration guidelines that will help you to associate Particular serverfarm with their respective VLAN.
    Configuring Server-Initiated Connections
    The NAT for the server allows you to support connections initiated by real servers and to provide a default configuration used for servers initiating connections that do not have matching entries in the server NAT configuration. By default, the CSM allows server-originated connections without NAT.
    To configure NAT for the server, perform this task:
    Command
    Purpose
    Step 1
    Router(config)# static [drop | nat
    [ip-address | virtual]]
    Configures the server-originated connections. Options include dropping the connections, configuring them with NAT with a given IP address, or with the virtual IP address that they are associated with1 , 2 .
    Step 2
    Router(config-slb-static)# real ip-address
    [subnet-mask]
    Configures the static NAT submode where the servers will have this NAT option. You cannot use the same real server with multiple NAT configuration options.
    1 Enter the exit command to leave a mode or submode. Enter the end command to return to the menu's top level.
    2 The no form of this command restores the defaults.
    For Example :
      static nat 199.200.9.140  ( IP can be virtual IP as well)
       real 192.168.24.0 255.255.252.0
       real 192.168.20.0 255.255.252.0
