Specifically, I'm trying to investigate the cause of failed email transmissions. Our network domain is NT4.0 based with a FreeBSD box acting as the mail server. Any attempt to send email while logged into the NT domain, whether by direct network connection or remote dialup connection, will fail if the email "FROM" field contains a non-domain user id. Eudora reports the following error message: "Can't send to 'anyuser@any.com'. The server gives this reason: '571 ... Sorry, we do not relay'. " Our system administrator has been unable and/or unwilling to find the configuration parameters that control this blocking of non-domain based return addresses. The mail server does not block the "checking for" and "retrieving of" email on other non-domain based, ISP email accounts. Any insight into mail server configuration settings that could cause this message blocking would be greatly appreciated. I do not have access to a FreeBSD system where I can search MAN pages for this info.
