I’ve followed the perfect SpamSnake tutorial to build a new MX server. Thanks for this BTW. Everything seemed to go good but now I’m trying to test the system before I change the network information to take over our existing MX and I'm having problems. When I telnet to port 25 using the FQDN I end up getting a 554 Relay denied error. If I’m on the system and telnet localhost 25 I don’t get this error and the email will go through to my internal server. In that case, MailWatch doesn't log anything. Can someone please provide some information on why this might be happening? TIA Dave
Thanks for the reply. So is there a way to test this using telnet? I've tried the ehlo but I still end up getting relay denied. I've alos tried the AUTH PLAIN but it returns with 503 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled
Hey, If you're logged in as root on your spamsnake, what happens when you try to do a telnet localhost 25? Rocky
If I use localhost then I can run through the whole procedure and the mail is passed on to my domino server and delivered to my mailbox. I've done this with helo and ehlo with both working on localhost 25. My mailwatch isn't loging these transactions but I'm not worried about this right now. Could be permissions or something. Dave B.

Solved.... I had a typo in my relay_domains. I had looked at a few times but I guess I saw what I wanted to see. Dave
Great new. I knew it was something simple. Good luck and I hope the SpamSnake is everything you want it to be. Rocky
