I didn't tell you to add an E-mail address to a user's mailbox. I was talking about the recipient policy dialog box.
IIRC, if you are rejecting mail for recipients that are not in the directory (as almost everyone should be doing) then you must put the checkmark in the box on the General tab of the recipient policy as I stated, or all mail for that domain will be rejected with a relay denied error.

It seems that I had to mess around in various SMTP locations. HMM. Maybe next lab install. I do want to make a point to address what you said below, though. An SMTP server can accept email for a domain in which no users exist. So, adding the email address on a user's mailbox will not solve a relay issue. That's more of a destination issue. Relay determination happens way before recipient checking.

If not, do that, because it's needed to solve the relay denied problem. Adjust the filtering if you don't want everyone to get the new address added to their mailbox. Carl From: Jason Gauthier [mailto:jgauth...@lastar.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 3:01 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Recipient Policy -- relay denied All, I've added a new recipient policy. Not something I'm unfamiliar with.. I have around 20 domains. However, whenever I try to email a recipient with my new domains I get the old 5.7.1 Relay access denied. I'm running Ex 2003 SP2. And I'm stumped and tired of fighting with it! Any suggestions? Thanks! ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
