I know this is fairly easy issue and discussed before but I don't understand why some users are getting 5.4 errors stating that the Exchange server can not relay their message. So bear with me on this one.
I have a single E2K server sitting behind a Pix firewall. The email server is a domain controller in a single 2000 domain. The majority of the users log into NT4.0 domains, there 16 of them, and use mostly POP3 clients. The clients include Netscape, Express and Outlook. We are slowly converting all to use the full Outlook. I set the relay setting in E2K to the following. (Only the list below) is ticked and so is (Allow all computers that successfully authenticate) In the access list I put in 10.0.0.0 and subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 That is the schema they use. When set as above some users get the relay error message while others do not. As I was thinking about this this weekend it came to me that it may be a rights issue. If a user logs into a NT 4.0 domain and is using the Microsoft Exchange Server service for Outlook, that person will not be able to access his mailbox until that NT 4.0 users is given Mailbox rights on the AD where the exchange server resides. But for POP3 client users this is not true. But I am wondering if this is why when I have the relay settings as above that it's a mailbox rights issue causing the relay errors. NT 40 users of Full Outlook do not have this problem and of course were given full mailbox access in 2000 domain account. My guess is that it is a mailbox rights issue. Of course when I tell it to relay all, the errors go away. When I get in next Tuesday (school district) I am of going to add mailbox access rights to one of the erroring users and have them try again. Anything else that I might be missing? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
