550 Denied Due To Spam List -- wrong error message?

[burhankhalid]

I didn't know how to word the subject, but here is the situation.

I was trying to see what response Scalix would send if I sent to an email address that doesn't exist.

So I sent an email to blahblah@meidomus.com from my gmail account.

The response I got (from mailer-daemon@gmail.com):

Code: Select all

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

    blahblah@meidomus.com

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 Denied due to spam list

this is a message to test the bounce back


Shouldn't this error be something like 'blahblah@meidomus.com -- unknown user' or something along these lines?

This is because you are mailing to an external address ( or your Scalix server, in particular sendmail, doesn't know it's own name ) but you are coming from a machine that does not match any of the RELAY accept rules in smtpd.cfg.

How do I troubleshoot this problem? I can send and recieve mails to the scalix server if the address exists in the server.

The MX record for meidomus.com is pointing to my Scalix server, and there is no other email server listed for that domain. Can you help me resolve this so that it is sending the correct error back?
