I am VERY confused... please be kind. I'm just trying to send mail to a user [EMAIL PROTECTED] , just as if I was trying to send to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've never had to set up any permissions to send e-mail to any other domain, why would something be wrong with my perms trying to send just this one domain? When I do an nslookup on the IMAIL server for an MX record for the domain I do get a response:
> set querytype=mx > move-to-nyack.com Server: oc02lcns01.services.myrient.net Address: 64.63.161.12 Non-authoritative answer: move-to-nyack.com MX preference = 2, mail exchanger = mx2.cisdata.net move-to-nyack.com MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx1.cisdata.net move-to-nyack.com nameserver = ns.cisdata.net move-to-nyack.com nameserver = ns2.cisdata.net ns.cisdata.net internet address = 207.159.17.20 ns2.cisdata.net internet address = 65.213.42.196 Shouldn't this allow me to send mail to this domain? If I'm missing something, please tell me. Slam my ignorance if you must, but with it please include a simple explanation of what I am missing here.

IMail looks for a HOSTS entry corresponding to the destination domain. (How would it possibly know that the host "mail" is an MX for the parent domain, anyway? Just because the hostname "sounds" MX-y doesn't make a dif.) > So the problem is with the ISP hosting move-to-nyack.com? What > should I tell them to correct? No, I think the prob is with your relay perms when sending. -Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
