Hi, Recently had similar problems, I use ADSL with dynamic IP I cured the problem by not using SMTP to send mail. I instead configured mail to forward to my ISP's SMTP server and the problem was solved. I think that this is caused by a DNS problem, (I do not host my own DNS server). All my clients that have a fixed IP address have no problem sending mail by SMTP, the problem seems to rear its ugly head only if you are on a dynamic IP address. My problem address was AOL .com I received ok but could not reply or send directly. Hope this may help.

Looking at the SMTP log files, an error occurs when using the BDAT command. It comes back "502 Command Unimplemented". The most common domains we cannot send to are: Hotmail.com and MSN.com. There are other domains that we can send messages to, but that we get errors in the log file. These errors occur when using the XEXCH50 command. Ther error say "500 Syntax error, command unrecognized". But, the message gets sent anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
