Free Tool Ferrets Out Mail Server Problems

Email service can even be a challenge for single-server shops. All too often, less experienced administrators either call their consultant, switch suppliers, or tell their users, "That's the way it is. Get used to it."

That's why the builder of email firewall trimMail Inbox (our sponsor) produced Mail Server Profiler, its free web-based tool.

Simply type in the domain name you want to check. Mail Server Profiler tracks down all its mail servers and checks their SMTP ports to tell you which servers are listening for mail, and which servers are not.

Then Mail Server Profiler produces a profile of your mail server setup, along with insights into possible sources of any mail delivery problems.
