554 - Sending MTA’s poor reputation
- by Phil Wilks
I am running an email server on 77.245.64.44 and have recently started to have problems with remote delivery of emails sent using this server. Only about 5% of recipients are rejecting the emails, but they all share the following common message...
Remote host said: 554 Your access to this mail system has been rejected due to the sending MTA's poor reputation.
As far as I can tell my server is not on any blacklists, and it is set up correctly (the reverse DNS checks out and so on). I'm not even sure what the "Sending MTA" is, but I assume it's my server.
If anyone could shed any light on this I'd really appreciate it!
Here's the full bounce message...
Could not deliver message to the following recipient(s):
Failed Recipient: [email protected]
Reason: Remote host said: 554 Your access to this mail system has been rejected due to the sending MTA's poor reputation. If you believe that this failure is in error, please contact the intended recipient via alternate means.
