RE: [cobalt-users] SMTP doesn't work: 554 rewrite error



I have had that problem. I first thought of DNS as well, but it
wasn't in my case. Somehow my virtusertable got corrupted. Try
restoring a backup of your /etc/virtusertable and then issuing
MakeMap. That ought to do it. Be sure to make a copy of your
current virtusertable so you can go back to it if need be.

I've seen this error from another user. Anyone got an answer??? Finally
got POP working. This is the last obstacle....

When I send  email from outlook, I get the following error message:

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's
e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'jlinett@xxxxxxxxxxx'.
Subject 'From jollyco.com', Account: 'Jollyco Server', Server:
'www.jollyco.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '554 rewrite:
excessive recursion (max 50), ruleset 3', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Server Error: 554, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

Is this caused by our not having the reverse DNS at our upstream
provider? Or is there something else I'm missing? jlinett is a valid
name for a user in the domain.

Thanks,
July
