I was able to get access to the Exchange server and I made the change, restarted the SMTP virtual service, and when I telnet to port 25 using the FQDN and not the IP address I get the FQDN name banners as expected but when I send an e-mail to the other domain I still get the 'Verification failed for.
There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server. Please contact your system administrator. <mail.domain.com #5.5.0 smtp;550-Verification failed for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> I'll keep looking but if anyone has any other ideas I would appreciate the help. -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 2:42 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: 550-Verification failed for You need to effect a change to the SMTP banner greeting.
