Relaying denied > 550 <charlespeters@tecpro.com>... User unknown It's pretty clear that the error is originating at the host which identifies itself as 'ais.ais-gwd.com'. It's pretty clear that it's denying the relay to tecpro.com. My guess would be that your ISP has your chickenbean.com domain listed as one of its clients; but not tecpro.com. They are apparently configured to only relay to/from client domains - if they don't recognize tecpro.com as belonging to a client, they won't relay for it. > The original message was received at Tue, 20 Oct 1998 18:46:14 -0400 (EDT) > from phoenix.volant.org [205.179.79.193] > > ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- > <charlespeters@tecpro.com> > > ----- Transcript of session follows ----- > 554 MX list for tecpro.com. points back to ais.ais-gwd.com > 554 <charlespeters@tecpro.com>... Local configuration error This points to the root of the problem - they don't know where to send the tecpro.com mail. You need to talk to their sysadmins to find out exactly what the best fix is. They may need to point the MX record for tecpro.com to chickenbean.com. (And you would need to ensure that your MTA properly handles mail for both domains.) -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
