Where did you check to see if you were blacklisted?

So smtp mail is getting to them from one sender (Hotmail, in this case) and not
another (your Exchange domain)......

Could there be something at their end, or at their ISP, that is blocking your
domain specifically?

What does their MX record read? Have you done an nslookup?

Do you know if any other domain is having problems sending to them? Do you have
a close contact there? - one (or more) of us could send a test message to that
contact to see what happened.

Here's a question - Do you know which server in which domain is rejecting your
emails? - ie, is it at the remote company or at their ISP?

Yes and Yes.  I am being extremely cautious about what I am typing, trying
it Multiple, multiple time.  They absolutely are receiving mail when I send
from hotmail.

You're absolutely sure that the username & domainname you're entering during
the
manual smtp conversation is the same as the one you used from the hotmail
account? Have you confirmed that the message sent from hotmail was actually
received - ie, have you spoken to the recipient?

I am still trying to troubleshoot sending a message from exchange to a
customer.

1.  They have a valid address and domain name.
2.  I can send from Hotmail.
3.  They can send to me.
4.  I can not reply or send new mail to them.

ERROR: The recipient name is not recognized.

I can start a Telnet session to the remote mailserver.  I Can say Helo, and
receive HELP.  When I try to send a message via telnet I get as far as:

RCPT TO:<username@domainname>

Then I get this error:

550 <username@Domainname>... Relaying is denied

If I can get this far from a command prompt on my Exchange server, why in
the heck can't I send a message to it?  Anymore tips out there?  By the way,
the suggestions that were provided yesterday were excellent!  Thank you very
much.

Syntax error sound like you're not entering it right.

Are you entering RCPT TO:user@domain  ?

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]>
< 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?
