Do you accept email for "12.10.133.30"? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 9:32 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: lost in relay problem
exch 5.5 w/sp4 First let me say i am sorry, cause i keep comming back and asking this. I MUST be missing something or just plai stupid, time to quit and go flip burgers. We have a mail server that is 5.5 smtp bridgehead ( 12.10.133.30 ) and in routing restrictions have hosts and clients checked. Using the following test http://members.iinet.net.au/~remmie/relay/ when i send it to myself [EMAIL PROTECTED] it WORKS and the email gets to me with the following... <<< 220 postoffice02.aruplab.com ESMTP Server (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service 5.5.2653.13) ready >>>> HELO staff.iinet.net.au <<< 250 OK To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>>> MAIL FROM: <<< 250 OK - mail from >>>> RCPT TO: <<< 250 OK - Recipient >>>> DATA <<< 354 Send data. End with CRLF.CRLF >>>> MESSAGE <<< 250 OK SUCCESS Relay Accepted - final response code 250 Now if i change the TO address to a generic [EMAIL PROTECTED] address that I have setup, some other smtp recipent then my own it fails 5 times then suddenly works on the 6th, however the mail doesnt ever deliver. per the follwing... +5 of these To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<< 250 OK - Reset >>>> MAIL FROM: <<< 250 OK - mail from >>>> RCPT TO: <<< 550 Relaying is prohibited To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<< 250 OK - Reset >>>> MAIL FROM: <<< 250 OK - mail from >>>> RCPT TO: <<< 250 OK - Recipient >>>> DATA <<< 354 Send data. End with CRLF.CRLF >>>> MESSAGE <<< 250 OK SUCCESS In senario 2 I dont see how it can do a RCPT TO: and 550 - to - RCPT TO: 250 OK - Recipent. SO I AM CONFUSED ALL TO HELL. Is it like "try this five times and on six it will work? And even if in senario 2 sending it to another server it never delivers doesnt it still sit on my server and eat up cpu/memory/disk? In senario 1 if the message is "relayed" to my server and to my clients it works right off the bat??!! i dont see how that is denying relaying? Doesnt that just open a huge window for asia-pacifica to spam my clients? Is there a way to plug this? sorry but i've made this so complex in my head it hurts. much thanks e- _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments may be legally privileged and confidential.
