1. Why is this message getting a 450 message? Is the outlook mail server

Since you didn't bother providing 'postconf -n' output, which would provide
useful clues, we are left with making random guesses...

My random guess: you're doing sender verification. Don't. It's broken in concept and especially broken operationally if you want to communicate with
people using MS products.


Hi Bill,

Thanks for your reply. Attached is my postconf -n output. The only smtpd_sender_restrictions we have in place are:


So my second guess was right. From that file:

postscreen_bare_newline_enable = yes
postscreen_non_smtp_command_enable = yes
postscreen_pipelining_enable = yes

Those *guarantee* that the first connection from any unfamiliar IP will get a 450 reply to any RCPT offered.
