It's my experience that people are able to identify that they've misspelled by this error.  However - your point brings a thought to mind - the sender doesn't know that other recipients at the domain didn't receive the message either.  I think I'm going to change customize my error message (for "Response if relaying is restricted") to:

557 You are not allowed to send mail to %EMailTo%.  Please check to see that you spelled the email address %EmailTo% correctly.  If your message was sent to additional receipients at %EmailTo%'s domain, you will need to re-send your message to them.

I'll try changing the error message and see how it goes

  • Get a list of primary and alias email addresses in Active Directory, as well as email addresses associated with Global Distribution Lists
  • Write the result to SpamFilter's AuthorizedTo whitelist file
  • Have this query or script run automatically, and frequently

Thanks for any advice you can provide!

Cheers,
Stephen

try this program to extract the email addresses... it's easy and free

FYI

we stopped using the AuthorizedTo because if someone sends a legit email to multiple users but misspells one of the email addresses nobody receives the email

Hi Alan,

If you can send me the link to that, I would like to take a look at that script
as well. I don't have a use for it right now, but I would like to see it work.]]> Sat, 29 Jul 2006 22:07:29 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5529&PID=8608&title=generating-an-authorizedto-list#8608 <![CDATA[Generating an AuthorizedTo List : Using Exchange 5.5 on NT4 SP6.I...]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5529&PID=8605&title=generating-an-authorizedto-list#8605 Author: Alan

Using Exchange 5.5 on NT4 SP6.
I actually found code specifically to work with Exch 5.5 but am still getting an error "ADODB.Connection: Provider cannot be found"
Checked for current MDAC (on 2.8) but still having same problem.

The script is designed to pull the addresses out of Active Directory,if you are not using active directory I don't think it would work.

What type of email server are you running?
