Exim 4 connection timeout

eximnetworking

I got a pretty strange problem with my Exim mailsserver recently.
Whenever I try to send mail to an emailaddress of a specific hoster (gmx.net) I get a timeout on the MX-Server from this hoster.

2012-01-19 11:34:56 1RnpHX-0005oz-0Y mx0.gmx.net [213.165.64.100]
Connection timed out

2012-01-19 11:38:05 1RnpHX-0005oz-0Y mx1.gmx.net [213.165.64.102]
Connection timed out

2012-01-19 11:38:05 1RnpHX-0005oz-0Y == [recipient]@gmx.de R=dnslookup
T=remote_smtp defer (110): Connection timed out

2012-01-19 11:38:05 1RnpHX-0005oz-0Y ** [recipient]@gmx.de: retry
timeout exceeded

Mail delivery to [recipient]@googlemail.com works just fine. And if I send an email from googlemail to the GMX-address it works aswell.

So what could be the reason that my server is unable to send emails to GMX?

PS: Just to mention it, I checked the RBL and my IP is not listed. The server I'm sending the mails from has a static IP and valid DNS records.

Best Answer

Might be your ip(Mail Server's) is blocked in the receiver server. So, check with the receiver side, whether you ip is blocked or not.
