It's happened to about 6-7 users. Those users I believe all use Outlook XP as their client. Internal mail is no issue and they can send to other external recipients fine. It's quite puzzling.

Is this from one sender, or multiple senders. Sounds like an authentication issue on the user's e-mail client. John T eServices For You -----Original Message----- From: Mike Liddekee [mailto:mliddekee@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 8:36 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Problems with relay errors http://www.MSExchange.org/ I've noticed lately on our mail server (recently updated Exchange 2K Standard to Exchange 2k3 Enterprise) that we tend to get a lot of Undeliverable emails when someone internals tries to email an outside party and comes back with the following: You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator. <mail.humco.com #5.7.1 smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for xyz.com> These emails would be usually going to folks that they have corresponded in the past, sometimes even the same day they've sent emails back and forth. Eventually (sometimes minutes, other times hours) they can try to resend and all seems normal. In each instance, I've been able to manually telnet to the recipent's mail server and send a test email to the same recipient from our mail server console no problem. Any idea what might be causing this? It's not affecting all outgoing mail, probably just on average of 5-6 a week. And its not email going to the same domain each time either. It's been all different domains. Some are large billion-dollar companies. Others have been small mom/pop shops. I'm at a loss.
