550 <yyy@xxx.com>... Relaying denied. Please check your email first

Emails to this certain address are being rejected with550 yyy@classiccitytool.com… Relaying denied. Please check your email first.

Test emails from outside (like a yahoo account) go to this person just fine.

Emails from Domino to other domains go fine.

Subject: 550 yyy@xxx.com… Relaying denied. Please check your email first.

One thing to try would be to increase the logging on your SMTP server to see what happens as a piece of mail is routed to this domain. You don’t have any server rules concerning this domain name, do you?

Just a couple of quick thoughts.

I added the following to the notes.ini:SMTPIODebug=3

SMTPDebug=2

Then I sent another message (with trace entire path).

Now I am:

  • Waiting for the recepient to respond to see if they got the mail

  • if they did, now I am wondering if it was

→ rebooting the Domino server

→ something about the other user here who sent the email

I did see a reference to changing your email address in your location document, saving it, then changing it back; for a similar problem.

Subject: RE: 550 yyy@xxx.com… Relaying denied. Please check your email first.

1 - Should that be SMTPIODebug or SMTPDebugIO?2 - The recipient responded. He did get the email. Now I have to see if the original client can send or if it was a burp in the server.

We put some debugging in, and rebooted the server, but now it works.

I guess “solved”.

Just for the archives

One debugging technique suggested to me was getting to the domino console and issuing:

set config SMTPCLIENTDEBUG=1

That might have shown we stuff that the reboot cleared up.
