SMTP Relay Problem?

SMTP Relay Problem?

Post by Liam » Tue, 02 Jul 2002 11:44:27



Getting the following error sending to one domain:

            There was a SMTP communication problem with
the recipient's email server.  Please contact your system
administrator.
            <{myserver name} #5.5.0 smtp;553 sorry, that
domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)>

- The above error happens to only one domain and just
started happening in the last few days.
- We use DNS to resolve domain names with no specific
address spaces only * in the smtp connector.
- The Server is Exchange 2000 SP2
- I deny relay through SMTP and have unticked the "allow
all computers..." box in the SMTP properties
- I do not filter on any SMTP connector

Out of ideas

Thanks in advance

Liam

You are on a blackhole list, or yyyyy.com.au requires reverse lookup of DNS
information.  If you'd not munged up the domains I could've told you which.
But assuming that the mail is originating from mail.pracnet.com.au, then the
problem is that its reverse DNS record actually points to a machine named
host2.pracnet.com.au.  If YYYYwhatever.com.au is using RDNS before letting
you mail, that's the issue.

My understanding of RDNS is that if an e-mail fails RDNS
the word "unverified" appears after the IP address on the
SMTP header. This dosn't stop the message being deliveried
as is happening in my case.

Thanks for your input but any other ideas?

No other suggestions.  If yyy.com.au were AOL, it would be flat-out
rejected.  Many other domains do this, too.  AOL's just the biggest and most
common.  Can other people send to yyyyy.com.au?  Then you have a problem.
The most common of which is the one that is exhibited by the machine
mail.pracnet.com.au.  If this is the machine in question, you may want to
re-evaluate your understanding.

1. SMTP relaying problems

Im using MSExchange as SMTP server. Im having problems with my remote SMTP
users. Every time any of them send a message outside the organization, they
receive a "relaying denied" error message. The origin is MSExchangeIMC with ID
4031. I made some search on TECHNET but not receive enought information. I have
more than 3 years of experience working with Exchange and this is my first time
with this problem. I already passed MSExchange Service pack 3 and Windows NT
Service pack 5. My ISP had problems recently and the service was very slow for
about a week. This situation made all queues get full. From the information i get
from Technet and NT logs im supposing that the problem is that my SMTP service
(IMS on Exchange) have being down or unavailable for a high network volume and
for that reazon the server could reject the relay.

I only have this problems with SMTP clients, if i try with Exchange Server
services every thing works fine.

Im MCSE, MCP and graduated from NAIT of Network Administrator and System Support
Analyst.

IF any person have any idea about this i would apreciate ot a lot.
thanks a lot.
