On one of my machines (not on the network I'm sending this from) I get the message "Sorry, relaying denied from your location" whenever I attempt to send email to an address not in the same domain as the sender.

Sorry, no way to tell with only that information.
Alas, that's all I have to go on.
- Why would you want to use that server for relaying?
I wasn't explicitly attempting to do relaying. I use GoDaddy as the server for both incoming and outgoing email on rhat machine.
If you want to send a mail to the GoDaddy Server, and the GoDaddy Server is not the final destination of that mail, then it is relaying. What kind of setting do you use to send mails from the windows servers? Do you have to authenticate to the GoDaddy server? Does The GoDaddy server restrict you to use the email address you authenticate with as the only valid sender address? Is the public ip address that will be used to send the mail the same for windows server and your linux server?
- The server will probably restrict relay permission to the internal network that it is responsible for.
The first point is always to look at the configuration of the server and the log of the server.
GoDaddy has it; I don't.
Perhaps you can ask them what kind of restrictions they have placed on their server. It might be faster than using the trial-and-error method to find out. (^-^) Sandy -- List replies only please! Please address PMs to: news-reply2 (@) japantest (.) homelinux (.) com
