Sandy,
Thanks for your input. I just found out that I had 2 problems just before
you sent this message. :)
I switched my relay to be allow anyone and it got rid of the error for the
relay. I know this is not recommended, but I will try to sort that one out
later. What should I put for my relay? Should it be only local hosts?
Ok, now for the tough one...
What account did you use to send to the list? Can you check the
text files users.lst and users.txt in the list's home directory
to make sure that the subscribers are really in there? Does the
list allow posting by Anyone? And can you use another remote
domain besides Hotmail, since their deferral rate is insanely high
and thus they pretty much suck as a test domain?
ok, the account I used was a hotmail account that was not part of the list.
But I did have the list set to where anyone can post. It isn't that the
email didn't get distributed, because it did, but it only went to the local
accounts, and not the hotmail account that was signed up for the list (this
is a different hotmail account than I used to send the email).
I even tried using the imail client to send a message, and it never reached
the hotmail account I was sending it to.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Keith

Keith,
You are relating two different problems, though you may not know it.
Let's start with the first one:
>The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was
>rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was
>'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Subject 'test', Account: 'myaccount',
>Server: 'mydomain.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 not
>local host hotmail.com, not a gateway'
This is an error generated by Outlook Express/Imail when you have not
provided SMTP AUTH credentials that allow you to relay mail to remote
domains. Check in the account setup in OE under "My server requires
authenticatiom."
The second problem:
>This seemed all well and good, but then I set up an email list. For
>this list I allowed anyone to post a message. I subscribed a user
>that was part of my domain, and this email address. The address
>inside of the domain had received the email, but the one outside of
>the domain did not.
Though this may surprise you, this is not the same relaying error.
Lists are considered local users, even if they "explode" to contain a
mixture of local and remote users. What you're likely seeing is one of
many vagaries of the Imail list server. What account did you use to
send to the list? Can you check the text files users.lst and users.txt
in the list's home directory to make sure that the subscribers are
really in there? Does the list allow posting by Anyone? And can you
use another remote domain besides Hotmail, since their deferral rate
is insanely high and thus they pretty much suck as a test domain?
