550 5.1.1 RESOLVER.ADR.RecipNotFound; not found: Only to one external domain

Hi,

Please check whether pop3 and smtp services are running on your server.
then delete all your mails from queue using command.
Then check whether u r ports are working are not.if not allow them in firewall. if their is a firewall.
check the entries in the records of u r domain where u have configure u r domain records.

check by pinging the mail server.

It looks like that domain use postini.

From the server, check that you can run an nslookup query for their domain.

nslookup -q=mx ineos.com

You should get returned 4 entries for psmtp.com

If you do not, then you have a DNS issue.

If you get an entry, then try using telnet to one of these servers on port 25 and try sending an email. What happens?

Shaun

See here for SMTP test: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/153119

Hi Shaun, ran nslookup -q=mx ineos.com  and I got the 4 entries OK

 using telnet, it failed to connect to mail.ineos.com , but does connect to the IP addresses.
Tried another test email, and here's the NDR

PS To Shaun, from the above NDR, I noticed the sending account was .local, so I re-ran test using another account, and it's the same.

Where are you getting mail.ineous.com from?

The servers that should be returned are:
ineos.com       MX preference = 200, mail exchanger = ineos.com.s200a2.psmtp.com

ineos.com       MX preference = 300, mail exchanger = ineos.com.s200b1.psmtp.com

ineos.com       MX preference = 400, mail exchanger = ineos.com.s200b2.psmtp.com

ineos.com       MX preference = 100, mail exchanger = ineos.com.s200a1.psmtp.com

If you are getting anything else, then you have a DNS issue to sort out. Check from your device and any DNS servers you use that it is not distributing incorrect information.

mail.ineos.com (just guessed thats their mail server)
I'm getting the exact same results, so DNS seems stable.
Boss getting a bit impatient, is there a workaround that (perhaps) I create another SEND connector that would work? Just thinking out loud.

Good thinking Batman,  OK, I did get connected using telnet to the IP address. I did not try to send mail.
What FQDN shaouls i telnet to, then try to send smtp mail?
I think this may be a "FrontBridge" issue... even though they claim that mail to ineos.com doesn't even hit their filters/smart hosts.

Telnet to one of the 4 servers listed above.

Then type:

HELO server.yourdomain.com
MAIL FROM:<youraddress>
RCPT TO:<douglas.bruce@ineos.com>
DATA
This is a test
.

And see if this gets through

Shaun

OK, telet to ineos.com 25 , worked fine
EHLO test 502 Error: command not implemented.

So, this (IMHO) looks like it's Front Bridge, no? I can connect to ineos.com 25, so DNS is OK,  any advice? other than go back to FrontBridge... Thanks Shaun

Same reults....

No the syntax is all wrong there.
Try as I have written below (exact syntax):

HELO server.yourdomain.com
MAIL FROM:<test@2020it.co.uk>
RCPT TO:<douglas.bruce@ineos.com>
DATA
This is a test
.

Shaun

Don't telnet ineoc.com, telnet ineos.com.s200a2.psmtp.com

So:

 telnet ineos.com.s200a2.psmtp.com 25

Shaun

220 server14.douwere.com ESMTP Postfix
HELO server.yourdomain.com
250 server14.douwere.com
MAIL FROM: administrator@jarvieplant.co.uk
250 Ok
RCPT TO: douglas.bruce@ineos.com
554 <douglas.bruce@ineos.com>: Relay access denied

cos its not coming from a "Smart Host"?

You are telnetting an email server that is not authoritative for the domain.

'ineos.com' is a different host and is not a published mailserver for the domain.

Only the 4 servers listed as ****.psmpt.com are listed mailservers

Shaun

OK, sorry..... going to telnet to  telnet ineos.com.s200a2.psmtp.com 25

That seems to have worked....

OK, so next if you run the exact same telnet test from the server (or a PC in your Local network) to the frontbridge server you are using as a smarthost (I presume), what does this say?

Does this give a 5.1.1

Shaun

Hi Shaun, hope you had a good weekend, that worked OK too...

Shaun, you're gonna kill me..... this has been an intermittent fault for a while, whilst trying to get it to work, I HAVe entered them (ineos.com) as an accepted domain (Cringe) however, I must have done this when trying to fix it.

Nevermind, it happens to the best of us.

The next test was going to be run the test against your exchange server and then we would have known for sure!

Glad I could help,

Shaun

I do wonder if the issue will re-apper, I didn't enter it in "acceped domains" <in error>  foe no reason. I suspect I've not heard the last. Cheers again fella.

Glad I could help,

If it was in accepted domains, that would cause exactly the error you are seeing as when an internal user sends to any address at the domain, it will only attempt to check your server for the recipient address, and of course, it will not find it.

Shaun
