Re: 554 <Joe@company.com>: Recipient address rejected: Relay acces



Hi Steve,

What I expect is that telus will only, by default, let people use their SMTP server to relay email when they are connecting via the telus network on a telus IP address (dial up or ADSL)

What you'd need to do is to contact telus and ask if it's possible for one of their customers to use their SMTP servers to relay email if that customer isn't connecting from their network. Often the customer has to use either SMTP authentication of some system where he has to check POP3 email shortly before trying to send SMTP email.
ISPs all have different policies about what they allow and different methods of allowing relaying from IP addresses not on their network, so you'd have to contact telus helpdesk I think.

Thanks Peter,
I wasn't specific, his Outlook is only configured for telus.net server, pop
& smtp. To help me understand, his email shouldn't be going through the
company Exchange server at all - maybe I'm missing something.

I think the issue is that you don't send mail via a POP3 account, you use
POp3t to receive mail.

To send mail you're using an SMTP server and unless he's changed it in
Outlook he'll be using an SMTP server belonging to telus.net. telus.net may
well have restrictions on the IP addresses of clients that are allowed to
use their servers to relay email to non-telus email addresses.

I think he'll have contact telus to ask if they have a facility to allow
authenticated SMTP relaying for their customers using their servers. He's
probably not going to have a lot of success using one of your SMTP servers
to send external email as telus.net probably publish SPF records which
disallow SMTP serves other than theirs from sending email from telus email
addresses.
