Forwarding and relay-denied.

[Jim Smith <li...@ponder-stibbons.nildram.co.uk>]

I am trying to forward mail for a particular user to a remote address.

I have added this mailet

<mailet match="RecipientIs=joe@mydomain.co.uk" class="Forward" >
   <forwardto>joe.blogs@isp.com</forwardto>
</mailet>

When I send mail to joe@mydomain.co.uk, I get this

We were unable to deliver the attached message because of an error in 
the mail server.

Error message below:
550 - Requested action not taken: relaying denied

Message details:
   Subject: test 11b
   Sent date: Sun Jan 08 11:15:11 GMT 2006
   MAIL FROM: jim@mydomain.co.uk
   RCPT TO: joe.bloggs@isp.com
   From: Jim Tester <ji...@mydomain.co.uk>
   To: joe@mydomain.co.uk
   Size (in bytes): 27

I am testing this by sending mail using an external isps smtp. James 
receives the mail from the external isp using fetchmail. The forward 
mailet is apparently working but the outgoing mail is being stopped 
later.

I can send mail through james directly to joe.bloggs@isp.com (the 
11:18:22 timed messages below)

The relay-denied directory contains nothing despite what the log 
messages say.

I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone who gives a damn.
