Hello all
I have a domain that no longer receives mail from us. The error is just after the PRVS bounce verification rewriting sender. Message xxxxxxxx to.... bounced by destination server. Reason 510 unknown address error.
How can I stop this from happening to this one doamin?
Thank you

Hi David,
So you indicated that it looks like their side is blocking for some reason, and you indicated that TLS is set to preferred.
Looking at the logs you provided we see the following,

We see that the connection is successful and we are able to STARTTLS ok
It is only once we get to identification of the sender and recipients that we run into trouble.

This error 550 Administrative prohibition - envelope blocked, originated from the exchange server on the remote side. While I am not familiar with that specific error and all of the conditions required to produce it, it appears that the traffic is being blocked on their side.
Next question would be does it effect all mail to this domain or just mail from a specific sender, or from a specific IP or hostname?

Greetings,
While I would have to see the mail logs to know for sure, my guess is the 5.1.0 unknown user may actually be referring to the sender. Some domains utilize sender verification which will typically fail if Bounce Verification is being used. This is be cause we append the PRVS tag to the sender ID in the message. If the recipient domain attempts to validate the sender by replying to the address listed with the PRVS tag, this will obviously fail.
Currently the only way around this is to make an exception in destination controls for the recipient domain in questions.
11-26-2010 06:45 AM
Hi Chris
Thanks for the quick response. The error I now have for this domain is
The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator.
< ironportserver #5.0.0 smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'Administrative prohibition - envelope blocked' (delivery attempts: 0)>
It doesn't seem to be reaching there gateway server, but am unsure if the failure is from there perimeter server rejecting the connection.
Is there anyway to check?
11-26-2010 07:05 AM
Hi,
probably be a good idea to enable a domain debug log for this , that way you can see the full SMTP conversation.
The domain debug log is a system log designed to record all SMTP traffic between a specific domain and an Email Security Appliance (ESA) for a finite number of sessions. This log type can assist in troubleshooting issues that relate to a specific recipient domain or host. Each session is recorded until the number of session defined has been reached, at which time the log will stop collecting data. You can stop domain debug before all sessions have been recorded by deleting or editing the log subscription.
Logs can be configured and created through the IronPort CLI using the logconfig command or via the GUI.
To configure logs via the GUI, see the Advanced User Guide: Log Subscriptions .
Below is an example of creating a Domain Debug Log subscription using the CLI:.
