5.2.2 issue with rejected smtp mail not sent to mail gateway

[mnixon]

Hi,

when I send an email to the email.com or mail.com domains from the wingate smtp server, the email is rejected as it comes from a dynamically assigned ip address.

Wingate is set to deliver undeliverable messages to my ISP mail gateway. In the case of mail addressed to email.com and mail.com however, the rejected email is not sent to the mail gateway.

Regards,

Mark Nixon

Hmmm

OK, it looks like since the authoritative server is failing the RCPT TO command, WinGate is taking this as meaning the account does not exist, therefore a permanent failure.

I will have another look at this.
