Error #4.4.7 in Exchange 2003
I have SBS 2003, running Exchange 2003 on it, AD, DNS setup correctly.MX working correctly, RDNS setup, NAV 10.1.
That is my setup. Now my problem is that recently i have started to get a lot of #4.4.7 NDR with any email that has any sort of attachment (gif, pdf, doc, jpg.....) if i zip any of these attached files all is ok and it goes through.
I did not have to do that couple of weeks ago. If you can think of anything i need to look at please do advise me.

How is your server sending e-mail? Do you have a static IP address and using your server for SMTP or are you relaying your outbound e-mail through a webhost/ISP using smarthost?
ASKER
I have a static IP address and email is being delivered through our SBS 2003 DNS, using SMTP connector.
This message usually indicates an issue on the receiving server. Verify the recipient addresses, as well as whether the receiving server is configured to receive messages correctly. Resending the message places it in the queue. If the receiving server is available, message delivery succeeds.
You say that when you ZIP the attachments they are sent, there is no Size limit or extension settings on the receiving server?

I would not know if there was any limits on their servers, It happens to any domain i send emails to. Today i got about 20 NDR with #4.7.7 only because here was a pdf attachment on a email msg. The size of attachment does not matter 100kb or 7MB. Can it be antivirus?
could be anti-virus, it could equally be the greylisting bug;

hi kieran and thank you for reply
i have not been greylisted and this queuing only happens to emails with attachments. anything without attachment to any domain goes through. if it is antivirus how could i go about resolving it.
i have NAV v10.1.5

>>i have not been greylisted
How would you know that? But I agree, it sounds less likely due to the attachments.
>>if it is antivirus how could i go about resolving it.
Uninstalling the AV, rebooting and seeing if the problem is gone is a good start.

since this problem started to show i hvae checked whitelists, greylists, blacklists, yellowlists and all other lists that exist out there in our know and unknown cyber universe :)
Uninstalling AV is the only option i have not done, i guess sometimes the simplest solution stares at your face.
Thank you kieran and as it is saturday today i will get back to you on monday and update you on what happened.
Thank you again!

Aha, but that is just it - My server greylists, and what that means is that it rejects ALL mail from EVERYONE.
Why? Because legitimate mail servers will always try again, spammers don't. If you sent me a mail, my server would reject it, your server would wait 60 seconds and then try again - bam, I have mail.
It is not elegant, and crap servers like Optus cause some shocking delays, but it is a killer for spam.
