There are a few things you need to check some of which you may have all
ready set.
- Make sure that you have the option "My server requires Authentication" box
checked in Outlook Express. Also verify that the correct username and
password are set (Norton likes to change these settings). If you are using
outlook express on an Mac you must have be running version 5.02. All
previous versions do not work with SMTP AUTH.
- If you are trying to connect to the mail server through a firewall make
sure the firewall is not filtering out SMTP AUTH commands. Cisco PIX and
Gauntlet as well as some others will filter this command out!

Subject: [IMail Forum] 505 not local host, not gateway, NOT WORKING
Sorry in advance for the long message. I've been going back and forth with
Pat from ipswitch trying to resolve this. Now I'm turning to the board.
=============================================
When sending mail from Outlook Express, I get error code
505 not local host domain.com, not gateway
I know why this is happening, but the suggested fixes are not working.
Running Imail 6.06, with 4 latest patches installed 5/16/01, incl the SVS
patch
on W2K AdvSrv. No resolution from the patches. :-(
SMTP Security is set to No Relay (per email from ipswitch tech supp). I also
tried using Addresses, but same no luck. Outlook Express 5.5 is set to
authenticate outgoing mail
I use Virtual Domains, so I'm sending [EMAIL PROTECTED] as user, password as
password.
I don't think the SMTP AUTH command is getting sent.
I setup a SMTP log in Outlook Express and here is a sample:
SMTP: 12:09:33 [rx] 220 ********************2**0*0************0******
SMTP: 12:09:33 [tx] EHLO ws1
SMTP: 12:09:33 [rx] 502 unimplemented command
SMTP: 12:09:33 [tx] HELO ws1
SMTP: 12:09:33 [rx] 250 hello 127.0.0.1
SMTP: 12:09:33 [tx] MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
SMTP: 12:09:33 [rx] 250 ok
SMTP: 12:09:33 [tx] RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
SMTP: 12:09:33 [rx] 550 not local host mail.com, not a gateway
SMTP: 12:09:33 [tx] QUIT
SMTP: 12:09:33 [rx] 221 Goodbye
See, there is no SMTP AUTH command being requested or sent (perhaps it's
hidden) or not logged.
When I set SMTP Security settings to relay for anyone, it works, but I don't
want to open my server to the world. duh.
So if anyone on the board can help, I thank you in advance.
