451 Validating Sender

Post by moegal »

I recently moved my mail server to another IP address after 10 years on the previous IP Address. After working out some blacklist and blocklist issues with the new IP address, everything seems to be working except for a few issues.

I checked all of my DNS records with mxtoolbox and everything looks fine. Most mail is coming thru just fine. Except:

A person is trying to send an e-mail to me and they are getting the following error. I checked on our server and this request does not even hit my server.

Anyone know what this is?

I think they are on an exchange server with mxlogic.net. A redacted message header is below.
===============================================
THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY
YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE
===============================================

A temporary error occurred while delivering to the following address(es):

<xxx@xxxx.xxx>: 451 Validating Sender:

I will continue trying to send the message until it is delivered or expires.

Hi,

It looks to be a configuration issue their end. The temporary error ("validating sender") is not coming from MailEnable. Only info I could find was the temporary error was being returned by mxlogic when they are filtering their outbound email:

Did the sender use to email you ok before your IP change? Do they get the error sending to anyone else?
