Our testing shows the following error:
550 not local host [x.x.x.x], not a gateway
What did you have to configure to get it to accept the
IP address (keep in mind the ip address of our box is
a non routable (192.168.20.x) and the ip address of
the router/firewall we are sending to is on the
outside (4.33.xxx.xxx)
The firewall/router routes all port 25 traffic to the
internal address.
Even a direct telnet and issuing of the VRFY command
gives the 550 error.
Thanks,
Robert
