Error sending to particular domain, Verification failed
Hi Experts
I have been having some problems sending email to a particular domain and they are having problems sending to us. we have recently setup a new SBS with exchange 2010 but everything seems to test OK using testexchangeconnectivity.c
we have setup a PTR record and a SPF record, amd made sure our DNS and MX records are setup correctly. this is the error we are getting
"theirmailserver.com rejected your message to the following e-mail addresses:
user@theirdomain.com (user@theirdomain.com)
theirmailserver.com gave this error:
Verification failed for <me@ourdomain.com>
The mail server could not deliver mail to me@ourdomain.com.
The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns entries. Sender verify failed

The message they get when sending to us (and it appears to only be them that has this problem, everyone else so far is fine)

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
me@ourdomain.com
The mail server could not deliver mail to me@ourdomain.com. The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns entries.
From my research it looks like this is because our MX records point to an ip address instead of an A record but this is not the case
any ideas?

sometimes intelligent message filtering on an exchange server will give you a delibrately missleading failure report when attempting to send something it considers spam. If the receiving server has intelligent message filtering enabled check to see if you can turn it off and test with that feature disabled. Just to see if that is the problem.
If its an issue with one domain how can things be wrong at your end ? If thats so means all other domains are not checking or working properly ?
Can you send email to that recipient using OWA\Webmail ?
Are you able to send email to the recipient from Public email (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) ?

Are you using remote.example.com for all hosts, as SBS likes? That should be remote.example.com for the MX record, and the PTR on the IP address. It will also be set as the FQDN on the Send Connector.
Sending email and receiving email are two different things. When they send email to you, what is the error?

OK I'll look at intelligent message filtering
I manage both domains, new sbs box at one end and other client is on a hosted ISP who doesnt want to help (we aint paying much either) I need to know where the problem is. this is a new mail server too so need to be sure.
Its just these two who are having problems with each other.
we setup mobile.example.com first and have changed everything to mail.example.com for everything A, MX, PTR and SPF. MX is pointed at A and A is mail.example.com. I will double check the send connector
their error is below
