SMTP Protocol Returned a Permanent Error

I have installed a Domino R6.5 server. Somehow that server doesn’t sent emails to some domains (e.g. web.de, audi.de or db.com)The message are like:

Failed to connect to SMTP host AUDI.DE because 221 2.0.0 mailgate.audi.de closing connection

Failed to connect to SMTP host WEB.DE because 221 mx23.web.de closing connection

Any Idea?

You need to record some debugging information to see exactly what’s happening

Notes.ini

SMTPDebugIO=1 (I think)

02/05/2004 11:35:39 AM Router: No messages transferred to WEB.DE (host mx-ha02.WEB.DE) via SMTP: SMTP Protocol Returned a Permanent Error

They don’t like my HELO :wink:

Any idea?

Subject: RE: SMTP Protocol Returned a Permanent Error

EHLO and HELO require a domain name…check your server configuration.Howard

Subject: RE: SMTP Protocol Returned a Permanent Error

The hint was good.

I had a Domain name but no “Fully qualified Internet host name”

After changing that it has started to sent all emails.

Thanks for the help…
