Re: Small Business server not receiving emails from certain domains



Hi Ldodero,

Thanks for posting here.

Based on experience, the problem may be caused that anti-spam filter is
over-aggressively blocking messages from some senders. Please temporarily
disable anti-virus, anti-spam, content filter or firewall, etc and check if
the problem can be reproduced. You can also set the SCL ratings to a higher
level and see what will happen.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)
