Yes we have Brightmail in front of the iMail server. When you say the spam gateway doesn't know who the user is do you mean the user who is sending or who the message needs to be delivered to? And what other ways can I test like you have? thanks

IMail will check the address in the MX record and issue a "rcpt to" for the user to see if there is a return of OK. I would bet your anti-spam gateway doesn't know who this user is. I just tested this and the machine in fact DOES know the user but the response was VERY slow from the PIX you have in frontof the machine and is probably cause a timeout on this request. With this condition I would expect it to fail. eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Warren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 11:59 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] VALFROM failure > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Return-path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sanford Whiteman > Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 10:21 AM > To: Matt Warren > Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] VALFROM failure > >> I am not too familiar with how to interpret this information.
