Full Version: qmail error 553 domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthost
The Planet Forums > Control Panels > Plesk

My client is getting this error:
"553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts"
when sending emails to some email addresses.
However, I can send email to the email addresses that he can't.
Both of our domains were set up via plesks.
I checked the var/qmail/control/rcpthosts and his domain is listed
there.
Any ideas what could be the problem?

Thanks,

c18165zext,

This is just a problem with settings and Outlook (typically). I took the following from another forum as it is better than I would explain:

QUOTE
Login to the Plesk Admin Control Panel, Server --> Mail --> Relaying --> Authentication is Required, POP3 lock after xxx minutes, Smtp. Check both boxes. I use a default of 1 minute, as that limits my known users to only send mail one minute after authenticating with their account. (I use 5 minutes).

This allows my users to send e-mail from their pop/smtp account to users outside of the domains I host (i.e. "myisp.com"). This should correct the problem you're currently having. However, you will need to make sure your users are Authenticating via the Pop server before attempting to send e-mail.

OutLook/OutLook Express -> Accounts -> Account Name -> Advanced Options/More Options -> Smtp -> Check the box that says "Requires authentication prior to sending" and tell it to use the "Pop Server" for authentication.


That should take care of the problem for you.
