Hey all. I am dealing with an Exchange 2000 environment that I originally put together 3 years ago and maintained all this time before I changed jobs. It worked fine all that time. Now weird things are happening.
The environment basically consists of a back-end server and a front-end server, to make it simple. SMTP Connector has the front-end as a bridgehead and Address Space for SMTP with * and 1. Inbound mail works fine. The problem is when I send a message from OWA to an external address, I get a 5.7.1 Unable to relay error message like this: The following recipient(s) could not be reached: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/2003 2:17 PM You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator. <my.backend.mydomain.com #5.7.1 smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [EMAIL PROTECTED]> This worked fine for three years and now is barking at me with these weird errors. For some reason the back-end server thinks that this is a relay situation. I can fix it by moving the routing group master from the back-end server to the front-end server and back, I guess this forces the server to rebuild its routing table. But then the problem comes back some time later. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
