Re: Relay Access Denied Problem



Did he have the wrong address, but the correct domain? If so, then yeah that's pretty weird. I suppose they could have the server configured to kick back a "relaying denied" error instead of a "no such user" to prevent harvesting attacks.

If he had the wrong email domain then it'd be normal if clearvision.net was pointed to fabulous.com's mail server but they didn't have it set up as a local domain. It never would have even looked at the user, it'd just reject it based on being a non-local domain.

Oh it get's even more funny...

The user now says it was his fault. He had the wrong e-mail address.

What confuses me is usually when someone enters the wrong e-mail
address, the rejection notice comes back as "unknown user" or "no such
user".

Very confusing!

Thanks for the help.... even though I gave bad information!
