Non delivery errors

I have installed a Windows 2000 server with IIS and an SMTP server to
relay incoming email to our main email server. Since it's installation
I recieve non-delivery messages from the Postmaster indicating a
message failed to be delivered. The Sender also gets a non-delivery
notification.

There are 2 variations.

One appears to legitimate bulk email (non-spam) to hundreds of
recipients. The other is remote users with our domain name as their
email address but their own ISP's SMTP server.

I have ben thru all the settings and can't figure it out.

Any ideas ?

Hi Dave,

Can you send the wording of the NDR reports? That will help determine what
the cause of the issue is.

Also, are you sharing namespace with another server? How do you have that
configured? Does the MX record for that domain point to this server and you
forward the undelivered mail to them?

With the above information, we should be better able to help resolve the
issue.

Best Regards,
Beth

Many e-mail admins limit incoming mail to only 50
recipients or less and if it has more then that they
bounce it back as undeliverable they also compare reply
and from addresses and if they don't match they won't
accept these either. I believe this is what is happening
to you .... It happens to me all the time. I've tried to
explain that I don't control other peoples servers
but ..... the higher ups fail to comprehend.
