Resolving SMTP error 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for user@domain.com Error 0x800CCC79

  • 项目

I was struggling with this error message today - everything I had found on the Internet suggested it related to security. Well, it does, of sorts, and a careful look at the configuration of your SMTP server without mis-interpreting a dialog box.

If you open the properties for your SMTP server under IIS admin, select the Access Tab, and at the bottom, click "Relay", you will see a check-box at the bottom, which is by default selected, saying "Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay, regardless of the list above". In my head-scratching to work out the cause of the error, I had mis-read the message as "Allow all users which succ....". The answer therefore was simple, above that check-box on the relay restrictions tab, there is a options dialog which by default Only the list may relay. Simple as adding your server to the list, or selecting All except the list below. The first one is obviously more secure.

    Hello, I have the same problem with a single domain name that my users and servers seem to be sharing: the inablility to send to a specific domain. We get 5.7.1. Unable to relay ... or NDRs stating the address is unroutable. I have tried to telnet test to my servers and get 5.7.1. ...  I have tried the configuration described above with no luck. I know it's a valid email address as some of my people can email to the name from external accounts. Any ideas?

    not only "more secure", it keeps you from being an open relay! Unless you enjoy sending out millions of emails on behalf of spammers, DON'T use the "all except the list below" option.

    see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_mail_relay

    Of course this isn't of as much concern if TCP 25 (SMTP) on your mail server isn't open to the Internet. I'd still never setup a completely open relay, Internet-accessible or not.

    If you are using the pickup directory on a Windows Server 2008, and nothing sends, try turning off UAC (User Account Control). That worked for us.

    Sorry, no idea. The post was some 8 years back and I'm not authoritative on exchange issues. I would start with the TechNet forums for Exchange.
