SUMMARY
The MailEnable SMTP Debug log provides a report of relay access attempts to the SMTP server. Using the entries within this log, it is possible to pin-point and relay attempts and their status. To search the logs, a Log Analyzer utility is contained in the MailEnable program group, this will display all failed connections in a concise manner for review.
DETAIL
Listed below are some entries that may appear
within the SMTP debug log and what they mean:
ME-I0111: Relay
Denied: Failed to meet all relay criteria.
>> Someone attempted to
relay through the server but they were denied because they either were not
authenticated, were not from an allowed IP or were not identified as a local
sender address.
ME-E0109: Relay Denied: Failed to meet all relay
criteria.
>> Someone attempted to relay through the server but
they were denied because they did not use a sender address that is defined on
the server
ME-I0112: Relay Denied: Server is configured not to allow
relaying
>>All relay settings have been disabled for the
server
ME-I0110: Relay Granted: Server is configured to allow anyone to
relay.
>> Server is configured to allow anyone to
relay
ME-I0108: Relay Granted: Sender has authenticated.
>> The
sender entered a valid user name and password before sending mail and was
therefore allowed to relay
ME-I0106: Relay Granted: [address] is in
local address map.
>> The server has been configured to allow locally
defined addresses to relay and the sender used such an address. For public
servers this is not good, as someone only needs to guess a mail address serviced
by the server and they can spam
ME-I0107: Relay Granted: Sender IP
(IPAddress) is within an authorized IP range.
>> The relay attempt was
allowed because the remote IP Address has been granted relay access under the
SMTP Connectors properties.
ME-I0102: Address ([SMTP:xxx@yourdomain]) is
to be delivered to Catch-All address.
>> Someone (most likely a
spammer) sent a message to an e-mail address that is not defined on the server.
The domain is local and was configured with a catch-all mailbox and the message
as therefore accepted and distributed to this mailbox.
ME-I0101: Local
Delivery: Address (%s) is local.
>> The recipient address specified by
the sender is local and therefore no relay authorization is
necessary.
