A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients. Contact your administrator.

Thank you for your help.
Please can you tell me how to increase the max hop count as all articles I have looked at tell me to go to IIS mamager v6.0 and right click on the virtual server but all emails are being delivered directly to recipient. I do not use a smart host so no virtual server.
Is there anywhere I can look to increase hop count apart from IIS on sbs 2003 r2
Thanks again.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
When a mail traverses through a certain number of hops before hitting the destination domain, these hops are then checked and if it has travelled more than the number of recommended hops which is based on a particular value set on the receiving gateway at that point it rejects the message with this NDR
In most cases to fix this issue either you can reduce some hops at your end ot you can ask the destination domain admins to change this setting and then they will be able to receive emails from your domain if that the current issue if people are unable to receive emails from your domain.
