Title: RE: Problem sending to particular domain (TELNET RCPT)

When I try to enter the recipient I get:

Syntax error in parameters scanning "RCPT".  Is that me screwing up or can it not resolve the name?

This is great stuff, very interesting!  :-)

Not all servers will respond to a vrfy. Some admins will turn it off to keep
the spammers from using it to find valid addresses.  After you enter the
HELO, you should be able to do mail from: rcpt to: and data commands to send
a test message to the user.

I can telnet to the problem domain from the Exchange Server.  (It replies to
a HELO)

Does the VRFY command check email addresses at a particular domain?  I tried
VRFY username@domainname  but that came up bad even when I tried a known
good domain.  I don't think I am using the VRFY command correctly.

Have you tried sending mail the this recipient manually (telnet to port 25)
from your Exchange server?

I had a curious problem dropped in my lap today.  One of my users needs to
send mail to a new customer.  When ever we send mail to this user, we get
the following error from Exchange:

The Following recipient(s) could not be reached:
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>  on 8/27/01 3:25 PM
The recipient name is not recognized.

What I have checked:

1.  It is a valid username and domain name.
2.  I can send to it from hotmail.
3.  I have same problem from multiple Outlook Profiles.
4.  I can ping the problem domain from the exchange server.
5.  There is no custom recipient on the server that corresponds to either
the username or domain name.

Exchange 5.5 SP3


Any suggestions on what path I should follow to start narrowing the problem
down?
