IIS SMTP Unable to relay 2012 R2 Essentials

I stopped receiving server health reports from all the Server 2012 Essentials R2 servers that I support. This is due to daylight savings. I will defer to the other post. I've been on the phone with office 365 support and confirmed that SMTP relay in IIS
is functioning so it looks to be a problem with the snap-in to manage server 2012 essentials that emails health reports.

Hi,
Please logon Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials and open Dashboard, select HOME tab and click Health Report.
Would you please let me know the Status of this problematic report? Meanwhile, please click this problematic report and check
General information about this Health Report (at the bottom of the panel) if find more clues.
Meanwhile, please open Services panel and navigate to
Windows Server Essentials Management Service, then check if this service ran as normal. Please restart
Windows Server Essentials Management Service and check if this issue still exists.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

IIS SMTP Relay

We are using windows server 2008 Server R2. We installed IIS and the SMTP relay component. It is setup to relay mail to our exchange 2010 CAS server. All internal mail is relaying properly on this server to the exchange 2010 CAS server to internal email
addresses. When someone tries to send to a recipient outside the organization such as to domain name hotmail.com, gmail.com microsoft .com, it does not relay the message. When I check the logs it looks like it does not even relay the external email address
to the cas server.
The error message we get is below. Please assist in what is wrong.
Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
[email protected]
Your message wasn't delivered due to a permission or security issue. It may have been rejected by a moderator, the address may only accept e-mail from certain senders, or another restriction may be preventing delivery.

Hi,
I think you can check your SMTP server with your system administrator firstly. does it work normally?
And if you are using a Windows PC for APEX, you can check you SMTP server in your IIS administration.
From your error info : Unable to relay, you can follow below to have a check, if you are working on MS Window
IIS -> Default SMTP Virtual Server -> Properties -> Access -> Relay resitrictions -> Relay -> All except the list below.
Hope this helpfull.

Smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable to relay #SMTP#

our dev wrote a script that'll send an email externally but it bounces with the following error:
smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable to relay> #SMTP#
Your message wasn't delivered due to a permission or security issue. It may have been rejected by a moderator, the address may only accept e-mail from certain senders, or another restriction may be preventing delivery.
It works fine if I want to send the email internally tho. The server is on the allowed list on the receive connector and anonymous users is checked in the permissions groups tab
using exchange 2010 SP3

Hi Cinekc,
Besides SSorin's suggestion, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. Please use telnet to port 25 to test SMTP communication. Here is a thread for your reference.

2. Please contact recipient side to verify if there is any limitation. What's more, I recommend you ask the recipient side add yourdomain.com into "The sender's domain is" exception of Anti-Spam transport rule and check the result.
Here is a thread for your reference.

#5.7.1 smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable to relay

Hi,
In my company we are facing lot of problems sending emails to some recipients when their email addresses are surrounded by single quotes, in Outlook. Ex.: '[email protected]'. If we remove the quotes the message relays with no problem. The question is why there
are some others domains that if we keep the single quotes the message is relayed. Is the problem in our side (my company) or the other side is rejecting the message in some way. What should I do in this case? I'll appreciate any help. We use Oulook 2007 and
Exchange Server 2003.
Here is the error:
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: Here is the subject
Sent: 23-07-2014 08:52
The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:
[email protected] on 23-07-2014 08:52
You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator.
<mail_server #5.7.1 smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected]>

Hi,
Thank you sou much for your reply.
My question was. If I keep the single quotes for SOME EXTERNALS RECIPIENTS, I get the error message aboved.
If I remove the single quotes for THOSE EXTERNALS RECIPIENTS the messages can be relayed.

Error 550 5.7.1 unable to relay with SMTP PORT 25 Exchange 2013

Hi All,
I know this issue has been posted for a while, but still can't resolved issue. We've new Exchange 2013 SP1 (CU4) installation, everything is working properly, the OWA, Exchange Client Connection, SMTP/POP with SSL, except with SMTP Using Port 25 Non-Encrypted
Connection.
If I'm using the SMTP Port 25 without TICK "My Outgoing Server (SMTP) Requires authentication", I've got the error: "550 5.7.1 Unable to relay", but if I TICK the option above, my message will be deliver without any error, how do i get
rid this problem, I need to UN-TICK the option above for the time being, since we've hundreds email account, I want to avoid to educate and tell the user and even remote their PC, just to configure this issue, it will drive me crazy, we're going to use the
Exchange Client Connection in the future, If everything is smooth and ok.
I research this problem on the Internet and of course with TECHNET, but still can't, anyone can help me on this?
fyi, I tried so many things, delete the default the Default Front End Transport for Port 25, it also not fix my issue.
Thx
Irwan

Hi
You can paste the output of below result
Get-receiveconnector | fl name,bindings,PermissionGroups
I think your default receive connector should be missing out some permissions.
Also try to see if you get any message on protocol logs and paste them too

Hi,
Since you are able to send emails to internal domain i assume the application server IP address already allowed into Receive Connector.
To relay application emails to external domain you should enable Externally Secured box in the Authentication Tab of the particular Receive Connector.

Any chance the "WSUS Administration" v-root is already present and did not get deleted after the last uninstallation?

Sendmailjpkg.sendmail - 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay

Hi to all,
Oracle 10g database.
We have an application that sends emails (only with one email address), with sendmailjpkg.sendmail,
We've recently installed an exchange 2010 server, and in doing so we've changed the relevant DNS/MX records to point the to new IP address. I changed the new SMTP address in database (in sendmail Java class – props.setProperty (“mail.host”,”NEW SMTP IP”), ...) and everything was ok when we sent email to local domain users, but when database sent to external email users we get this error:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: *550 5.7.1 Unable to relay*
I know what is the problem is, exchange required full authenication to send emails outside the domain with JavaMail, attempt at stopping spam…
But I do not know how to create authenticator class, how to put authentications in sendmail Java class or in my procedure where I use sendmailjpkg.sendmail, or anywhere else ?
Thanks!

Isn't that a Java issue rather than a SQL or PL/SQL issue?

How to fix this issue ?

Hi,
Did you create a relay connector to allow to relay in Exchange? About how to create a relay connector, you can refer to the following article.
How to Configure a Relay Connector for Exchange Server 2010

To allow a device to use Exchange to relay a message to an outside recipient, you also need the ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient attribute.

550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [probably bogus Email address]

Hello,
My Exchange Server has been reporting numerous instances of the following message (or very similar messages) most days for a couple of weeks or so now:
This is an SMTP protocol log for virtual server ID 1, connection #3. The client at "118.161.64.59" sent a "rcpt" command, and the SMTP server responded with "550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected] ". The
full command sent was "rcpt TO: <[email protected]>". This will probably cause the connection to fail. For more information, click http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect .asp
The Email address is unknown, and probably bogus.
What really concerns me is that the messages from yesterday (Sunday!) contained a now defunct Email account from someone who used to work in our London head office, but left about a couple of years ago. To me, this implies that there has been unauthorised
access to the company IT infrastructure - possibly at both sites - and that someone is trying to get our Exchange Server to relay unsolicited / mailicious Emails. The above message suggests that the attempted relaying has not been successful to date, and I
can't find anything out of the ordinary in the SMTP queues or the Exchange logs - but the persistence does concern me.
So, am I reading this correctly? If so, what can I do about it? Or if not, what does it really mean?
Thankyou very much for your help.
Kind regards,
Keith

If your Exchange server is accessible from the Internet, as it would be to allow you to receive SMTP mail unless you have a relay server like an Exchange Edge server, then Spammers will attempt to use it to relay. Your server is correctly rejecting
that, so I don't see a problem. If you're worried about this, then you could contract with a third-party cloud-based message hygiene service like Exchange Online Protection, and the restrict the IP address that can talk to your Exchange server to those
of the hygiene service.

Exchange Server 2013 - 550 5.7.1 Unable to Relay

Hi Guys,
I have recently setup Exchange 2013, I have been having an issue were the Emails that we are attempting to send are getting stuck in the 'Drafts' box. I decided to use Telnet to see if I could send emails that way but much to my disappoint I was unable to
send emails to external contacts using Telnet getting the following error '550 5.7.1 Unable to relay'.
For my external server lookup I have my internal DNS Server for the DNS and my internal DNS Servers forward DNS Requests to Google's Public DNS Servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). I have tried removing Google's DNS Settings and just using my internal servers
and using Google's DNS Server and not our internal DNS Settings.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what might be causing this issue. I have been working through the solution in other posts on other web sites but so fare not much luck.
Kind Regards

Hi,
Please check whether the Windows services that Exchange requires on a server have started via Test-Servicehealth. Especially Exchange Transport service and Mailbox transport service.
Please add the IP address of our DNS server for testing.
Please also re-configure our Relay Connector, found a useful article for your reference:
How to Configure a Relay Connector in Exchange Server 2013
http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2013-configure-smtp-relay-connector/
If still not working unfortunately, please trace these messages via Message Tracking to check whether there is any error. If has, please post the details for the further troubleshooting.
