Ok thats makes sense, sorry been pulling hair my hair out.

But this leads me to another question, then email doesnt deliver to the
external source.  which is good.  but it still hits my server and gets into
the ques.  This morning I came in and there were 26,000 NDR's waiting in the
que.  Which clogged the thing up and needed a boot so normal traffic could
get going.  Its become a constant babysitting problem.

Eric, think about this for a minute.  You are using an external host to
send TO YOURSELF.  Of course it is going to work.  Your main server will
accept ANY e-mail from ANYONE that is destined FOR your e-mail address.
What you need to do to test it is re-read the instructions.  It says
quite clearly that that recipient should NOT be an address which the
server accepts (I.e don't use your address).  It should be an third
party address, such as a hotmail address.  Try it again.

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
