Error: smtp;550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client
Hi All,
Need a bit of help here to understand below error. Our Chairman got below Delivery Failure message when he replied an email of a client. He has recently sent/received email to/from this particular client without any issues. *I have altered email address, domain and IP from delivery report below*
Note: We are running Exchange 2003-SP2 on an in-house SBS 2003 server and for spam filtering we have CA Gateway Security suite installed.

An Exchange error status code document suggests, "550 is always a problem external to your own mail server. Usually it is at the recipient’s end, but it could also originate from inside your own “walls” through being caused, for example, by a firewall appliance which scans your outgoing emails once they have left your server."
Thanks for your attention.

I would agree that the message is probably external to you and is being rejected by the recipients mail server.
How does mail leave your server? Does it go via a smart-host?

The problem appears to be at the recipient side. There is no need to investigate this issue any further.
I don't know if your chairman sent the message from an inhouse PC or from another location - sending via your Exchange MTA.
I would check relay setting and authentication in both mailserver and client.
