Relay denied.... looks like the exchange server is treating these external users as some one trying to relay messages through your exchange server.... just for a test ... can you enable your exchange to relay all mails through it... just for a couple of minutes... and then send the test message again and then disable it again... check the properties on the dial in clients....let me check if there are any specific settings that by default enable or disable outlook clients.

Subject: test Sent: 2/19/02 12:22 PM The following recipient(s) could not be reached: 'little_amy@xxxxxxxxxxx' on 2/19/02 12:22 PM us-ascii That is all it says. I can't remember the all of the tracking because it is on my home computer but I know it says exchange ready then helo the it also says the user and password are valid. Then I get a 550 SMTP 5.7.1 error relay denied. Then connection canceled. Here is the tracking from the server from what I can find: 2002-02-19 19:22:17 HELO 250 2002-02-19 19:22:17 MAIL 250 2002-02-19 19:22:18 RCPT 550 2002-02-19 19:22:19 QUIT 0 They do not stay in the outbox. I cannot find them in the bad mail folder or in the queue.
