Relaying denied > 550 ... User unknown It's pretty clear that the error is originating at the host which identifies itself as 'ais.ais-gwd.com'. It's pretty clear that it's denying the relay to tecpro.com. My guess would be that your ISP has your chickenbean.com domain listed as one of its clients; but not tecpro.com. They are apparently configured to only relay to/from client domains - if they don't recognize tecpro.com as belonging to a client, they won't relay for it. -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
