Stating the obvious: Are you sure that the users with the problems are
actually using SMTP auth? Just because you have given them a million
warnings does not mean they actually did what you asked. You will get a
550 code if the server requires SMTP auth and the user does not provide
it - though the message usually talks about being "unable to relay".

Just a thought

Subject: [IMail Forum] SMTP Auth Suddenly Stopped Working. Ideas?


I recently informed my users that I was changing the relay function of
our server such that a username/password would be required to send mail
(SMTP Auth). I made the change Sunday night. My clients made the change
to their mail throughout the last month. Testing went smoothly and I had
no problems monday. Today I got multiple calls from my users complaining
they could not send mail outside their domain. They'd receive bounce
back messages that
say:

"Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable. [SMTP Error Code 550]"

It was my understanding that if I set IMail from "relay mail from local
users only" to "No Mail Relay" and the user had SMTP Auth enabled in
their e-mail client, they would still be able to send mail. I am parsing
through my IMail log trying to discern what might have changed between
yesterday and today, but am coming up short.

Any fellow IMail admins that use SMTP auth and 'no mail relay' have any
idea how to fix this? I would very much like to have SMTP Auth working
with no mail relay. Thanks!

Ben
