[8.171][BUG][CLOSED] Unable to send SMTP Mail from client PC

Hi since 8.171
I have PC's that send email directly through the SMTP Proxy and Smart Host that receive the following error.
"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded:  No RDNS entry for 172.16.20.9. Please check the message recipient ***xx@***xx.com.au and try again."

Other Clients that send mail through the Exchange Server are fine, only the Clients that Relay.
I have a number of Domain's and different settings in the SMTP Profiles.

Prior to this release 8.170 all was working.

  • Mark,

    please check the confd settings for your SMTP relay hosts. What does the following command (executed as root) output?
    cc get smtp relays

    And can you please for each REF_ string that is listed by the command, run the following command and post its output?
    cc get_object REF_hereYourString


    Maybe your ASG has a problem with resolving DNS names.
