I have a client trying to send email to an ISP and sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. In the log it shows "Too Much Load".
The ISP's response is that there is something wrong on my side. Any have any ideas on this? Here is the message: You appear to have a few mail servers there which are misconfigured to use invalid names instead of connonical names when saying "HELO" as required by the RFC's. Generally, only spammers do this. To be RFC compliant, the name a server calls itself in the "HELO" or "EHLO" command must be connonical. It *should* also resolve to the IP address the server is actually using, and DNS should also return that IP address, and reverse DNS should also return that connonical name. Our servers don't require all this (although they will insert warning headers if any of this is out), but they do require a cononical name in the "HELO" field. -smj Thu, Feb 20, 2003 at 10:12:46AM -0800, NCWS Support wrote: > I have a client trying to email a few people at oro.net and were getting the > error below. > Any ideas? > > Thanks, Danny > > > 20030220 063318 127.0.0.1 SMTP (272) Trying oro.net (0) > 20030220 063318 127.0.0.1 SMTP (272) Connect oro.net > [209.77.110.102:25] (1) > 20030220 063318 127.0.0.1 SMTP (272) 421 Too much load; please try > again later > 20030220 063318 127.0.0.1 SMTP (272) SMTP_DELIV_FAILED > 20030220 063318 127.0.0.1 SMTP (272) >QUIT > To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
