E-mail to users within 'DELPHI.COM' is funnelled through two servers: BOS1H.DELPHI.COM (192.80.63.10) the "primary" mail-server, and DELPHI.COM (192.80.63.7 or 192.80.63.5 or 192.80.63.1 or 192.80.63.4 or 192.80.63.8 or 192.80.63.6 or 192.80.63.9) When I use the 'PING' command, I find that each of these hosts does respond. So, these hosts are "up", and "connected" to the Internet. When I use the 'TELNET' command, I find that each of these hosts does respond. The 'BOS1H' host is "timing-out", i.e., refusing to establish a connection for transmission of E-mail, after 60 seconds of waiting. The ....7 address just timed-out. The ....5 address just timed-out. The ....1 address just timed-out. The ....4 address just timed-out. The ....8 address just timed-out. The ....6 address just timed-out. The ....9 address just timed-out. Sigh! So, it must be an "internal" problem, or a deliberate action on their part. Sort of telephoning their Help Desk, there's nothing you can do.
