Scalix Forums

Hi,

I installed my scalix on a local server. Locally everything works fine. Sending mails to extern recipients works but sometimes any security policy will reject the mail with the following error (directly from the recipients MX)

relay=xxxx.dialin.xxxxx reject=550 .....Please use the smtp server of your provider.

I configured the smart host: <name of web provider like yahoo.com>

But most of the mails will be delivered without problems. I guess there will be a problem with the first hop from local to smtp@provider. There will be the dyn. IP-Adress of the dial-in written in the headers.

Is there any possibility to solve this problem?
Cheers from cold germany

You can only solve this if your ISP allows you to relay messages through their SMTP servers.

Edit the file /etc/mail/mailertable and add the following:

where domain.com is the domain you are sending to and isp.relay.com is the name of your ISPs mail relay. The values are tab-separated.

You need a line for each domain you are having problems with.

When you have made your changes, you need to run the command make in /etc/mail and restart your sendmail daemon to pick up the new changes.

Cheers
