reason: 501 Sender domain must exist 501 5.6.0 Data format error

Hi!
We use James as mail server. Recently, we got emails sent from another
domain. Then we got following error message. We do have registered
domain name in our central DNS.

Does anyone know why? and how to check or fix?

Many thanks,
Lee

Hi, Danny!
Many thanks for your reply. Yes, I read little bit, can be associated with MX.

I solved the problem by:
- adding this domain to sendmail.cw
- restart sendmail.

I am not really sure why it worked like this. It was installed by a
consultant, and he quits without leaving too much document.

Thanks again.
Lee

perhaps the recipient can't resolve your domain name, or its looking
for an associated MX?
