What is the MS article number?

I get outbound mail failure notifications from email that was not sent out by any of our employees Reason for error is message timeout and I'm unsure if it is a misleading error message. Reason for failure should be that relaying is prohibited? I'm wondering if alas relaying is still possible. The from: address on these messages is invariably Anyone have input?

RE: testing relay
Read http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html and digest carefully. Emails with a From: header are delivery notification messages. RFC2822 says mailers must accept these messages (they can, if I recall correctly, do what they like with them). There are an awful lot on non-RFC2822-compliant mail servers out there.

And, of course, servers that don't exist except in the fertile imagination of some spammer are unlikely to accept any NDRs.
