Well here's the command syntax I was using: Helo test.com Mail from: alex@xxxxxxxx Rcpt to: user@xxxxxxxxxx I should have been doing: Rcpt to:user@xxxxxxxx Notice there is no space there. For some reason when I did it with the space there it would not let me relay but when I did it without the space it worked. I don't know that I ever noticed that before.
