Thank you for your suggestion. I tried removing the domain from the recipent policy but it didn't help. My server still says;
Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [EMAIL PROTECTED] It still seems the default smtp virtual server is the cause of the rejection. The connector is assigned to the second SMTP virtual server with different port number (4321). Since the first smtp virtual server is the only one with a public ip address how can I get the first virtual server to accept the mail for hisdomain.com and relay it to his server using the second virtual server with the new port #. I also need to be careful not to end up as a wide open relay host. I don't want to get blacklisted.
