This error message is not related to dns but to sendmail/other mail system
not allowing
you to relay mail.

Check your or remote email server's relay configuration.

Subject: Mail problems with name based virtual hosts (MX problems?)



Hello all,

I'm at my wits end. I have about 8 domain names that my Red Hat 6.1
box is primary for. I had been using CNAMEs but kept getting the
"CNAME and OTHER" error because I had SOA and MX entries for the
domains.

So, I switched to A records for all of the domain names. Now, I can
send email to 3 or my domains, but not the others! When attempting to
send email, it bounces with this error:

<jrcampbe at blazevic.org>: host leonardo.tigerjimmy.com[209.98.143.194]
said: 550
    <jrcampbe at blazevic.org>... Relaying denied

 It's really weird. The three that work are the ones that I have my
ISP acting as secondary for, so I am sure that it is a configuration
problem on my end.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Jim
