SMTP Mail

I just checked the QUeue directory and it was empty. Now, the badmail
directory has a whole bunch of files.

this is a blurb from one of them ( i changed some email addresses for spam
reasons).
==============================================
Unable to deliver this message because the follow error was encountered:
"This message is a delivery status notification that cannot be delivered.".

The specific error code was 0xC00402C7.


The message sender was <>.


The message was intended for the following recipients.
rchemtob.DeleteThis@opton2line.net
Sales.DeleteThis@Shopper2head.com

=========================================================

Any ideas how to fix this.

thanks
rafael

I got this from the event log

Message delivery to the remote domain 'shopperhead.com' failed. The error
message is 'An SMTP protocol error occurred.

'. The SMTP verb which caused the error is 'RCPT'. The response from the
remote server is '553 24.185.193.* mail rejected due to excessive spam

'.

I am emailing myself. i'm not sure why this is giving this error.



thanks

Emailing yourself means what? That you send an email to your email address,
on a remote server?

The error message is quite clear, the remote server don't want to
communicate with your server because it is thinking that your server is
sending spam.

I found out why. My server is behind a firewall that is connected to the
internet using a DHCP address. Certain mail servers reject mail from
dynamic IP Addressed machines. I tried using a server with a static IP
address and it worked great.
