Re: MSF Mail relay issue

[Wayne McAlpine <wayne.mcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stuart,

I was baffled by something similar a while back and it turned out to be 
one of the real-time black hole servers that I was using.  It was overly 
aggressive in rejecting entire ISP's.  Do a CHGSMTPA command and prompt 
to take a look at whether your have an RBL specified.   No messages are 
issued when mail is rejected.  I'm now limiting to just two RBL servers, 
the primary one being spamhaus.
