[vchkpw] remote not able to send email
Greetings - I have a remote domain that can pop, but not send (from home location). I got them to be able to send from their office location, but had to add their router IP to the /etc/tcp.smtp file. Now from home...the user can pop...but when they try to send, it tells them they can not connect to the smtp server. I have roaming users enabled for vpopmail. WHat am I missing? Regards, -- Marty

WHat am I missing? a lot of ISPs nowadays are blocking port 25 outbound. this is probably the situation. You'll have to set up an additional smtp service on an alternate port (587 is the defacto standard). I would recommend setting up an SSL wrapped service with SMTP AUTH on port 465, to protect your users' login information. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

However...now I am getting this The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'email@ameritech.net'. Subject 'testing', Account: 'pop3.domain.com', Server: 'smtp.domain.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)', Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC79 I have domain.com setup in the rcpthosts - This was the same error I got when they were accessing from their office and then I added the WAN IP and it worked. Now...we have another client...in another city..that has no issues at all and I never had to add their IP to the tcp.smtp file. If they happen to be having issues, they have not reported it as they state everything is working fine. thanks, Marty
