I know this has been reported before, but I've gone through all the offered solutions to no avail.
Problem: Hobbit 4.1.2p1 runs smtp checks against several Exchange mail servers. Was working fine until June 6th (when I added RDP service). Since then, get alternating Green (4 mins) then Yellow (< 1 min) on SMTP test.
Yellow status says "Service smtp on xxxxxxxx is not OK : Unexpected service response"
Green status says "Service smtp on xxxxxxxx is OK (up)"
SMTP test always shows as yellow on Hobbit Status pages.
Conn test to same IP as SMTP is always Green.
Telnet to port 25 of SMTP IP from Hobbit command line gives normal Exchange 220 response.
Have tried removing RDP service - no change.
Have tried adding/removing various "send" entries to SMTP test, as per previous information in the Hobbit archives. I have tried with each of the following, and with none - send "mail\r\nquit\r\n" send "rset\r\nquit\r\n" send "ehlo hostname.domainname.com\r\nmailfrom:hobbit (at) server.com\r\nquit\r\n" send "vrfy postmaster\r\nquit\r\n"
all make no difference. NB: I did restart Hobbit between each change & waited 10 minutes.
Without the "send" line, my SMTP entry is as follows: [smtp] expect "220" options banner port 25
The RDP test works fine! [rdp] Port 3389
Does anyone have any ideas?
