Not receiving bounce emails

Hello,

We have a client that is not receiving a password recovery email from his system, he always returns an error message "Sender not allowed", what I could check in the logs is:

Even if he puts the domain b2bnetwork.net.br on the whitelist he cannot receive it, how can I make him receive the e-mails from this sender?

thanks

Hello,

I think some more informations are needed here.

The log you pasted looks like an exim log on debian. Is it on the receiver side (supposed to receive the password recovery mail?)

What password recovery should he receive, from where ? Password recovery for his account on a SmarterMail.

Just trying to understand where SmarterMail is involved in the flow here.

Can you please give more details about the issue ?

Hello,

Thanks for the answer.

I removed this log from the spamexperts service, at first I asked them for help thinking that it could be the block there, but that was their response:

Please note the message was accepted by us/our filtering servers based on the whitelist rule in place, but it was bounced on the destination mail server on the recipient side. This is not related to us and needs to be further checked and resolved on that destination server H=mail.swfast.com.br [186.224.105.200].
Further checking the logs for the message we can see:
2021-01-27 20:42:40 [20479] 1l4qi8-0005KJ-5J DMARC results: spf_domain=em9115.b2bnetwork.net.br dmarc_domain=b2bnetwork.net.br spf_align=yes dkim_align=yes enforcement='Accept'

2021-01-27 20:42:45 [20864] 1l4qi8-0005KJ-5J Completed
So, based on the logs and the screenshot attached with the extra query rules added from the Columns to be displayed option, that there is another local rule on the recipient side, using some extra checkups, that are blocking that sender MAIL FROM:<bounces+2302131-937c-renan.marcal=swfast.com.br@em9115.b2bnetwork.net.br> SIZE=41619: 550 Sender is not allowed. We cannot see those rules and we do not have control of them, so this is something the recipient needs to resolve.
We do not recommend having any extra DNSBLs or filter checks applied on the already filtered messages on the destination mail servers.

This client uses a third-party CRM that is sending the password to him and bouncing the server.

I hope I have explained the case better.

thanks

Marked As Answer

The sender, or domain or part of the domain is blocked under Settings > Security > SMTP Blocks

Take a look through the rules that exist and find the matching pattern thats blocking that domain

Hello,

I had this domain in "SMTP Blocks" I removed and it seems that it worked again.

Thank you very much
