    setting up an mail server

    Hi,

    I didn't know what form to go to for this one, so I apologize. I have apache, but I don't think its an apache question.

    I downloaded 'Free SMTP Server' which is a really nasty SMTP relay server program that allows 10 emails a day.

    First before recommending a better server program.

    I've tried a lot of different trial versions of many different smtp servers, and for all of them I am getting the same error '550 Invalid recipient' with outlook and telnet

    example of error: open cmd. responses=R: input=I:

    I:telnet <myipaddress> 25
    R:220 localhost
    I:HELO localhost
    R:250 Hello localhost
    I:MAIL FROM:someone@ui uc.edu
    R:250 someone@uiuc.ed u Address Okay
    I:RCPT TO:another@uiuc .edu
    R:250 another@uiuc.ed u Address Okay
    I:DATA
    R:354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
    I:this is a message
    I:.
    R:550 Invalid recipient: another@uiuc.ed u


    both emails are valid

    What could be the reason for this error?
