[email] SMTP error 554

I'm using MDaemon as out mail server and the last days I get an error "554 Message does not conform to standards" for emails sent from one of the machines. Any idea what may be causing it? Other machines work fine.

More info....this is the log file:

This question is related to email outlook smtp

The answer is


Just had this issue with an Outlook client going through a Exchange server to an external address on Windows XP. Clearing the temp files seemed to do the trick.


554 is commonly used by dns blacklists when shooing away blacklisted servers. I'm assuming

Mon 2008-10-20 16:11:36: * relays.ordb.org - failed

in the log you included is to blame.


To resolve problem go to the MDaemon-->setup-->Miscellaneous options-->Server-->SMTP Server Checks commands and headers for RFC Compliance


Can be caused by a miss configured SPF record on the senders end.
