James cannot send to a user, but other smtp's can
Recently, a friends email provider began bouncing my attempts to email him
through my James SMTP server. The same email, sent through the SMTP server
provided by my ISP gets through fine.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hi. This is the James mail server at servername.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. Below
I include the list of recipients and the reason why I was unable to deliver
your message.
user@hisaddress.com
Remote mail server told me: 550 Command RCPT User <us...@hisaddress.com> not OK
The original message is attached.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My Specs:
James 2.1.3
J2SDK 1.4.2
Red Hat 7.3
------------------------------------------------------------------
The remote server info...
220-lithium.websiteproviders.net ESMTP Exim 4.20 #1 Tue, 26 Aug 2003 17:21:12
-0400
Thanks,
Eric

Actually, Speakeasy is one of the coolest ISP's out there. Their philosophy
is that it's your line, run what you want as long as you aren't doing spam,
hacking, and probably pr0n.
You can run servers, but you are responsible for the security. My James SMTP
server can send to anywhere else. Only this one address is giving me
problems. I use James to provide various company aliases and my personal
mail domain.
They also have started encouraging WiFi sharing of your line with neighbors as
well.
And openrbl.org returned negative. I have SMTP Auth setup to prevent relays
and attempts.

Also, some cable providers such as mine (Comcast) block all smtp
traffic in the system except when sent from their servers. They
do this so spammers do not use their networks to send spam to
the internet resulting in, among other things, addresses in their
dhcp pool being labeled as spammers. It also wastes their
bandwidth, bad publicity, etc, etc...)
If this is your case, either simply use their server to send emails,
or setup James as a gateway which forwards smpt to your provider's
server.
BTW - if you are using a residential service, don't call their support
desk; they will tell you that your contract forbids running server
services on your home machine and - maybe - start monitoring
your usage.

Eric,
Check your IP address against www.openrbl.org.
RemoteDelivery does not, yet, support SMTP AUTH, although it would be easy
enough to patch.

I am on DSL, but I have a static IP (no DHCP).
I'll can the gateway approach anyway. Does it support SMTP Auth to the
gateway? That is required by the ISP (Speakeasy.net).
Thanks.

not OK
Are you running on a DSL or cable modem?
If so, see
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?JamesDocumentationNotes, and
look for DHCP.
