Interesting Mail "problem"
Anything in
italics has been changed to protect the possibly innocent
I try to send an email to someone on our own system. I know it doesn't exist and should return a message to me from the mailer daemon with the reason it failed. Instead it pops up a Window on the screen asking me to choose a different mail server and states that the user does not exist.
Here is the situation from the mail logs:
mailbe:/var/log# grep 'msd\[10374\]' mail.info
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: Linux Magic SMTPD started: connection from 216.xxx.xx.xx
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: EHLO command received, args: [ xxx.xxx.x.xx]
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: AUTH command received, args: LOGIN
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: AUTH success: [ user@domain.net]
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: MAIL command received, args: FROM:< user@domain.net>
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: RCPT command received ( xxx.xxx.xx.xx), args: TO:<waypoint234@hcc.net>

Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: domain country code[ user@domain.net] = "**"
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: domain country code[[ xxx.xxx.x.xx]] = "**"
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: Allowed to relay, not doing server-wide checks
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: RCPT address [ otheruser@domain.net] is local
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: otheruser@domain.net BLOCKED as non-valid user ( xxx.xxx.xx.xx)
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: QUIT command received, args:
Mar 17 16:02:20 mailbe msd[10374]: Exiting (bytes in: 122 out: 269)
If I am using a mail client on Windows, a message comes back to the inbox stating:
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: test
Sent: 3/17/2010 4:06 PM
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
'otheruser@domain.net' on 3/17/2010 4:06 PM
550 User [+otheruser@domain.net] does not exist
Is there a way for me to get this same behavior on the Mac? It is actually more frustrating than getting a returned email.
Thanks,
Greg
