CDO message being rejected
I tried this question on the IIS list with no comments. I just found this list so I'll withdraw from IIS and try here.
I am maintaining a web site developed in ASP. Part of the application sendS automated emails when certain actions are taken by users, such as submitting an order. The email is generated using CDO. We recently started receiving email notifications that email sent to one domain was being rejected. The error message is as follows. The folks at the blocked domain can receive email from our domain if sent directly so it does not look like a spam filter problem.
-------------------------
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
johndoe@xyz.com on 7/23/2007 5:51 PM
You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator.
<propertycontrol #5.7.1 smtp;554 5.7.1 Header forgery attempt - rejected>
--------------------------
Only messages to xyz.com are creating this error. All other recipients are receiving the system generated email. Any suggestions on what to look at to resolve this would be appreciated.

Ask them to whitelist your email address, the one it comes from.
ASKER
The "From" address for the message is inserted in the asp code that creates the message. We have tried sending email directly from this account using Outlook/Exchange Server and it is not blocked. When messages are created using CDO does the receiving mail server see the address of the creating smpt server or the From address? I have looked at the mail header of the messages received properly and can not see where the receiving system would identify this message as one to reject. The only unique item in the header, from the messages sent out of the web server, is that the sender is identified as "X-Mailer: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000".
This is an issue with your SMTP server, not the code.
