It is an error indicating the mail is rejected! DSN 550 is a > permanent error. Not so! It looks like that but the 550 is internal to sendmail and the client never sees it. Here's how you can try it yourself: 1. In one client window, do a "tail -f /var/log/maillog" so you can see the messages from sendmail as they happen. 2. In another window, type in commands like these (>>> denotes your typing, <<< denotes responses from sendmail): $ telnet localhost smtp Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. <<< 220 goalkeeper.city-fan.org ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.1/8.13.1; Thu, 23 Sep 2004 21:49:04 +0100 >>> EHLO localhost <<< 250-goalkeeper.city-fan.org Hello localhost.city-fan.org [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you <<< 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES <<< 250-PIPELINING <<< 250-8BITMIME <<< 250-SIZE <<< 250-ETRN <<< 250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 <<< 250-DELIVERBY <<< 250 HELP >>> MAIL FROM:<paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> AUTH=paul <<< 250 2.1.0 <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>... Sender ok At this point the mail log will show: Sep 23 21:49:25 goalkeeper sm-mta[28272]: ruleset=trust_auth, arg1=paul, relay=localhost.city-fan.org [127.0.0.1], reject=550 5.7.1 <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>... not authenticated But note that the client got a 250, not a 550. (type QUIT to exit the SMTP session). Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
