Dear Friends,

  i have an issue, i got Cisco 1700 Router with IOS: c1700-advsecurityk9-mz.124-15.T11.bin

The issue i am facing is :

Suddenly , all the Clients using ONLY Outlook can send mails but can't receive mail.

in the outlook, if u do TEST account, the Send/Receive (Pop3 110) state : completed but if u try to Send/Receive, Send Completed while Receive: Failed reason: check your ISP

in the Wireshark: nothing is receiving from outside

the same 3 laptops we are having issue, if we connect them directly to the Internet , they can send/receive mails normal

Please advice what shall i do to fix this issue!!

Cisco Router was working fine !!

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Show output of command:

sh run

And remove sesitive info like public IP addresses. Is there anything between router and clients? Check might be some ACL blocking. Are you able to access to Internet from Mail server?

Thanks for ur reply

there's no ACL

i removed all the config and did basic config as the following:

SMTP is used for outgoing and POP3 is used for incoming mail. If you're able to send, but not receive, have you checked the pop account on the client? Can you telnet to port 110 from one of the clients that's having the issue into the server that they're checking? For example, if they're using pop.gmail.com, can you open a command prompt and type:

telnet pop.gmail.com 110

You should come back with something. If it times out, check the url and try again. Also, run nslookup against the domain name to see if it resolves, or simply ping the name from the client. If that doesn't work, then you likely have a dns issue for the domain name that's attached to the pop server.

What's changed in your environment? I don't see anything on the router that would keep you from being able to connect....

If you can get some downtime, try rebooting the router.

Try adding

ip tcp adjust-mss 1460

to interface Dialer0

You could probably remove your default route statement as your dialer interface will get its default route from DHCP. Maybe this is causing some issues.
