Two or three times a week I see reports of internal mail bouncing with the following error:
 
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts
 
The message always originates from a MS SMTP mail gateway that should pass the message directly off to one of the iMail/Declude servers. I cannot be sure from the message if MS SMTP is trying to pass it off to the correct server, however. Perhaps it messed up the DNS lookup. I'm enabling more logging on that server to find out.
 
In the meantime, assuming that MS SMTP is routing correctly to one of the iMail servers, what might cause this? Domains are not added/removed frequently enought to be related, although I am running the adddomain/adduser executables every time people change their accounts.
 
I have not tracked it down before, because it's never repeatable. If they send the same message right after they get the error; it goes through. It seems to happen to all domains/users. Because it doesn't happen often enough to effect the same user twice, I havn't really had to look into it.
 
I have no Declude rules set to bounce. Users are allowed to set iMail bounce rules, but this error does not seem to indicate that
 
Any ideas?

Hi Sandy-

HEADERS -3 CONTAINS Eudora

Would seem to work. But can we make it more specific, like

MAILER -3 CONTAINS Eudora

-d
