Thanks Dean and Chris for your replies. It looks like it was our anti-spam software that was doing it. When it was installed on the server, it needed to listen on 25 so I had to switch Exchange over to 2525. Today, I tried relaying from another machine that I had allowed relay access and when I telnet 25 it would deny but then when I telnet to 2525 no problem. Now, I have to figure out how to get the a/s s/w to allow that IP to relay.

We changed it and the new FROM is [EMAIL PROTECTED] but email is still not relaying. I turned logging on and found this: 2008-01-28 00:13:01 192.168.100.240 mmc-mail.mmc.mmcwm.com EHLO +mmc-mail.mmc.mmcwm.com - - 2008-01-28 00:13:01 192.168.100.240 mmc-mail.mmc.mmcwm.com MAIL +FROM:+<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - - 2008-01-28 00:13:01 192.168.100.240 mmc-mail.mmc.mmcwm.com QUIT mmc-mail.mmc.mmcwm.com - - And, to make things interesting, I got from the EMC assigned to the case: "Problem ConnectEMC email home messages are refused by a number of SMTP servers Symptom ConnectEMC email home messages may be refused by SMTP servers due to lines longer than 1000 characters (RCF2822). The long lines are caused by incompatible new lines (LF instead of CRLF) in messages sent by ConnectEMC. Fix Summary Change SMTP server configuration to accept email with lines longer than 1000 characters" I've never seen anything like the above and I have no idea how to change that (if that truly is the case). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dean Cunningham Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 8:09 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: unable to relay I assume: the device is internal to your network? the [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the actual from address from the device? If so I suspect that exchange is saying "this email is from emc.com but is trying to be relayed off my subnet which is mmcwm.com, so no" If you can reconfigure the emc to say it is from [EMAIL PROTECTED] then the relay may work. If you can't reconfig, try BLATing emails from the device in question with the different from addresses to see if what I am suggesting is true. I have always used the from address coming from any internal device to be the seme as the domain name exchange uses. i.e. exchange domain address nrc.govt.nz so any internal email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also setup a catch all mailbox in exchange to catch any replies. i.e. the admin mailbox primary is admin at nrc.govt.nz additional are kiosk at nrc.govt.nz ipmonitor at nrc.govt.nz users have a tendency to reply to automated addresses.... I consider it poor mail admin to create email addresses for domains that you are not authoritative over i.e. emc.com Cheers Dean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chinnery, Paul Sent: Tuesday, 22 January 2008 04:08 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: unable to relay Exchange 2000 I have a device (EMC Centera) that is trying to send out health reports and alert messages. I have verified that the device's IP address is in the allow to relay list but mail is not being relayed and the device's log shows the following: [2008-01-18 11:19:20] Failed to send email, result:Unacceptable response to RCPT TO: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I seem to be running into this probleme lately.
