I'm having trouble chasing down the source of an error message that I'm getting. There are two domains behind a single firewall.
 
Company1.com - hosted on the qmail toaster.
and
Company2.com - hosted on an exchange 2003 server. But whose mail gets passed through the qmail toaster with a simple entry in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts and /var/qmail/control/smtproutes.
 
company1.com can receive mail from any domain EXCEPT company2.com. BUT company1.com can send to company2.com
 
When I attempt to send an email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (via outlook/exchange) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I receive periodic error messages advising me that sending is delayed.
 
After about a day, I get an undeliverable message that says:
"There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server. Please contact your system administrator.
  <company1.com #5.5.0 smtp;550-"The recipient cannot be verified. Please check all recipients of this>"
 
There isn't anything in /var/log/qmail/smtp/current So, I tried to telnet to the company1.com mail server hoping to see some other sort of output.
 
When I telnet to mail.company1.com 25 (from anywhere) I get:
EHLO mydomain.com
250-Greetings from the company1.com mail server. Now Go Away! (my own smtpgreeting)
250-STARTTLS
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE 419430400
250 AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5
MAIL FROM [EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 ok
RCPT TO [EMAIL PROTECTED]
511 sorry, you must specify a domain <#5.1.1 - chkuser>
 
 
I'm completely stumped, though it's got to be something simple (user error being most common).
