Database mail

    I have an issue regarding database mail, via our smtp relay through our exchange server.

    emails are sent out via SQL Server database mail to our clients consisting of subjects such as order notes and contract notes.

    Each sender has their own account and profile, and a valid email address on the exchange server.

    We send out between 10- 20 emails a day to our clients.

    For some reason this seems to be causing our exchange server to be blacklisted as a spam source.

    Is there any configuration or setting that can stop this happening?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    That is something being done by the remote email systems, so it is not under your control.

    You might try contacting the admins of those emails systems to try to get them to take you off their blacklist.

    Are you being blacklisted by the remote server, or by one of the service DNSBL's that the companies may be subscribing to?

    If it is by the remote server, then as stated above, you have to work that out with them. If you are being blocked as an open relay, then that might be a whole other problem altogether. You first need to identify how you are being blocked, and then look at what could be causing that.

    I will have a look and post any updates I find on this.

    Internal emails were being sent but outside recipient mail was being denied "...rejected due to spam list" (non-MSExchange mail server) because the Sqlserver 2005 mail profile had a bad password for the email account.

    Now I need to figure out how to re-send the failed ones :unsure:
