Re: [cobalt-users] POP Before Relay Error on auto-forwarding emails

[Shaun Johnston <shaun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the message I get - please let me know if you need the domain / ip 
details etc:

<client email address>: host [host domain][server ip] said: 550 5.7.1 <client 
email address>... Relaying denied.  Please check your mail first.

I understand the concept behind POP before relay, but I don't understand why 
it would do that to an auto-forward.  It seems to me like the server is 
denying itself access to SMTP!

If I'm on the wrong tangent, please enlighten me :-)
