Title: Sending email to an e-smith server
Post by: Spencer Fornaciari on November 01, 2001, 08:42:34 AM

Hey,
I've got webmail up and working, with everything apparently setup as its supposed to be.  I have my e-smith server up and running.  The website works, I have the DNS working and people can reach my website via it.  I can email out from webmail but none of the mail I send to my server is reaching the system…any idea what is causing this?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I'm having the same problem.  Things were working then two days ago somthing changed.  The error message received when sending email to the mail server says that the recipient could not be reached. Diagnostic-code: smtp;550 5.1.1   ... User Unknown
What does that mean/indicate?  Any help would be appreciated. thanks. sls

Nevermind...it just took like 12 hours to receive it for whatever reason.  Thanks anyway.

Problem solved.  My ISP had made some incorrect DNS changes.  Originally they denied they had created the problem.  It only took three for them to admit and fix it.
