571 Delivery not authorized, message refused

Problem reported by Neal Culiner - 2/9/2015 at 2:45 PM

Resolved

Hello,

All of the sudden I can't send e-mail to about anyone as it's been refused with Error 571. I recently updated SmarterMail to 13.2.5507 and then today I noticed 5511 so I updated to that. I haven't touched my configuration and can think of no reason for this to happen, i.e. no viruses or spam issues, all blacklists show me green for 209.9.229.10.

Any suggestions to correct this?

Thank you. HELP

Neal

Hi Neal,

Do your delivery logs show any additional details? Also if you telnet directly to the other server do you receive a 220 response?

I can't send to just about anyone the past 24 hours especially HTML e-mails. I can get plain text e-mails to work it seems.

Is there an area where older builds are listed so I can roll back two builds? These recent two builds concern me and I believe something is causing this issue. Nothing has changed in my config or DNS.

You need to post the actual information provided by gmail.com to get to the bottom of this. What is the link in the message? I do not believe this is related to any version of SmarterMail.

I couldn't post the link as when I tried to submit my reply it said my account here didn't have sufficient permissions.

Put spaces in it or something.

I'm trying to reply to a friend on verizon and it gets a 571. I rebooted everything as well, servers, switch, firewall. I really feel something is very wrong with the latest SM 13 release.

First in Protocol Settings, SMTP In set "Append Received Line" to "Non-authenticated messages". Next, make sure your messages are properly SPF and DKIM signed. That message from google usually means poor IP Address reputation. You're revealing the originating IP Address in addition to your server IP Address. Sometimes this causes problems. Google will like you much better if you have proper SPF and DKIM, and the messages are sent via TLS. Then send a test message to mailtest@unlocktheinbox.com and wait for the return message. Once you're POSITIVE all the problems are fixed them fill out this form: https://support.google.com/mail/contact/msgdelivery

All I can say is that I'm on SM 13.2.5511 and my logs show 18,144 successful messages sent to gmail.com recipients so far today.

Thanks, -Joe

Okay, thanks, I'll just hope it clears, not sure how or why this started. SPF and DKIM tests pass (dnsstuff . com)

I haven't used dnsstuff.com for years since they got greedy and started charging for their service. There are other services the do more for free. Did you try the mailtest@unlocktheinbox.com? I tested your server and you don't support TLS... that will help if you support TLS. If you're sure all settings are correct use the form I provided for gmail.com and they will reset your IP Reputation. You may want to sign up for their feedback loops as well.

Thanks, -Joe

I think they went back to free again, I stopped using them when they started charging as well. I sent two messages to mailtest@ and no response. I think I found the culprit, I upgraded the Kayako Help Desk Sunday and I think they are sending bad e-mails which has ISP's blocking me. I'm assuming...it coincides with when this started. :( Thanks for your help, I'll keep digging out of this.

This issue continues and it seems like it's related to sending HTML e-mails. I can send plain text fine, once I throw a link in the message or send a HTML message I get the 571 rejection. I'm going to have to open a case with SmarterTools.

Many thanks to Von-Austin See in SM support. In all the years I have never needed to open a ticket and hated doing so but he led me to an error message about "data transfer failed" in the SMTP log and upon googling I saw another topic which led me to my Watchguard firewall and the spamBlocker subscription service. I turned it off the problem went away, I then went back and reconfigured it as well as the routing config and all is fine now. Hallelujah, two days shot and four days of e-mails blocked but I'm happy to have this finally cleared up!

Thanks to all who helped.
