Sorry, relaying denied from your location
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. Other machines on the same network (running Windows) have no such problem, so I would guess the cause lies in my own machine. Where should I look to correct the problem? Paul

Sorry, no way to tell with only that information. - Why would you want to use that server for relaying? - 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. Sandy -- List replies only please!

Alas, that's all I have to go on.

I wasn't explicitly attempting to do relaying. I use GoDaddy as the server for both incoming and outgoing email on rhat machine.

GoDaddy has it; I don't. Paul

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?

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

I used to get that error when I would try to send an email from my own PC running Mercury ( or any mail server program). My ISP has banned sending mail out from any PC other than using their own smtp servers. so I guess they block port 25... -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

That well might be the problem, though I can't check it out now because I'm not at the location where the machine is. That would suggest that changing the output port would be the trick. I'll know next week when I have access to the machine again. Paul

I had that problem with an ISP at one time also. It's not the address you're trying to send "to", but the one you're trying to send through. I. e., you're trying to use an SMTP server of an ISP that is different from the one you are actually connected to. Some allow this, some don't. I guess the other people who aren't having problems are using the smtp server for the ISP that you guys are connecting to. Seems like you should just change your SMTP setting, unless there is some particular reason you want the mail to show up at the destination as having come from that other ISP's site with the user name you have at that site. The only way I was able to accomplish that was to log into the mail system at the other site via the web browser and do the send mail directly from there. Greg Wallace

I just rechecked GoDaddy's instructions for setting up Outlook and they say to switch the output port from the default 25 to either 80 or 3535. I guess that 25 is OK with them if I'm not going to a different domain. Mail for the same domain as the sender also goes through GoDaddy, and they're hosting that domain. It would have been a little easier to figure this out if all outgoing mail was being blocked. Paul

Paul Glad you got it working. Maybe a similar approach would have worked for me, back when I had the same problem. So you just went to Kmail (or whatever mail software you are using) and changed the outgoing SMTP port, is that right? And because Godaddy sees the mail originating from one of those other ports it says it's ok to relay it? Just trying to pick up some knowledge here on this issue. Greg Wallace

I can't get at the machine to test it until Tuesday, but Kmail has a place to change the port in its settings. I expect it to work. GoDaddy provides outgoing email service, so they certainly wouldn't restrict it in general. Probably if the sender's domain name (which GoDaddy has registered) is the same as the destination domain, GoDaddy will accept port 25 nevertheless. Paul
