throws SMTP error while sending an email in Lotus Notes


I'm trying to send the email from Notes which are of different domain mails. While sending an email i'm recieving an error "Error transfering to mail.target-domain.com; SMTP Protocol Returned a Permanent Error 554 5.7.1 <mail.my-domain.com: Access denied"

The configuration and the code level scripts are good and i don't see any error in code. Sometimes the mail send successfully, sometimes it throws such kind of error, sometimes if we retry to send email it sends.

I don't know where it throws an error

How to resolve this and why does this error appears?


Solution

  • It is not related to your script, it's a security configured in the server. You have to work with your admin to understand if the security is triggered because of the FROM/sender address, the recipient address, your IP, or more probably the combo of sendername/recipient , or the SMTP relaying from some IP to some other IP.

    Also, if your script is in an agent, the sender address is often forged by the agent/server, and is not a valid one.
