ALL mail servers should be doing this. Their server will not RELAY any mail not from their domain. If they do not have THEIR mail server to ALLOW your domain it will me rejected with the error above. I'll assume the following. You are using their mail server for outbound mail ? And the return address's on the mail going to them is not THEIR domain ? BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE * no relaying* Sounds like they upgraded to a newer version of Smail or SENDMAIL that defaults to NO RELAY.
