Stefano, Thanks for the info, that may be it. James is my email server. Outlook (or API client) will send email to whomever ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc) and James is the smtp server for that. I am not trying to send via James (James is not a relay in sense of passing through to Hotmail).
Your stmt: "...maybe the problem is that your JAMES Server is on a dynamic IP pool or that you have misconfigured the HELO name for JAMES. The HELO name should be the same of the reverse lookup of the IP from which JAMES connect the other servers." My IP is as static as providers offer, only changing every few months or so. If you mean by the HELO name the response from a telnet to port 25, then it shows my mail servers domain name, James SMTP Server 2.3.1 that follows it, and the date. So, it looks like the lookup is ok. Now, I see in the dnsserver logs the following: 16/11/07 06:13:17 INFO dnsserver: Couldn't resolve MX records for domain XXXPROD. 16/11/07 06:13:17 INFO dnsserver: Couldn't find CNAME records for domain XXXPROD. 16/11/07 06:13:17 ERROR dnsserver: Couldn't resolve IP address for host XXXPROD. XXXPROD is the host name of the machine where James is running, but it is a resolvable name, not sure I understand what it is stammering about. Here is the text after the 550 for hotmail Error message: 550 DY-001 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. We generally do not accept email from dynamic IP's as they are not typically used to deliver unauthenticated SMTP e-mail to an Internet mail server. http://www.spamhaus.org maintains lists of dynamic and residential IP addresses.
