Importing Using VB
Posted: 07 Feb 08 8:05 AM

I've recently taken over this SalesLogix Database which uses a custom VB program to import data from another SQL DB. While the program is running it stops and throws up an error message that says "The server rejected one or more recipient addresses. The server response was: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for dschulz@print-tech.com"
Can anyone tell me what this error means? or Can anyone tell me how I can view this (VB) import script so I can understand what it's trying to do? |

| If it is a .net script you can always use Reflector to bust it up and see the source code if you don't have it. If you do just open the project in Visual Studio and it can been seen. |

As RJ Eaton mentioned, if it is .NET you can use Reflector. If it is VB6 then you'll be out of luck if you don't have source code.
Basically, what the error is saying is that the code is attempting to send an e-mail via SMTP and is doing so without authenticating (via relaying). If you opened up relaying on the SMTP server from the IP address where the code is running from the error would likely go away.

Is anybody else curious about why an import program is sending emails?
If the email was within your local domain, it could be a report on the job, but outside?

Hi David,
Yeah, I was wondering the same. Seemed a bit weird, but then maybe I thought it could be something like sending some complete or error report to an administrator or something. Who knows?!

Hi Ryan
That is why I made the comment about the domain - doesn't look like Ricoh to me...

Hi,
Did you email the guy print-tech.com and ask how he was related to Ricoh? Also, if its trying to send, check the smtp server logs and you should be able to find the body of the message - just knowing the "to" should help.
Most of the import programs we do - email status messages - though most only email exception reports. We try for lights out operations and some feeds don't always have data - but when they do its important. This is especially true if the data comes from outside the building. The only time we email a client is when we get bad data from them. So your error message does not seem that strange to me.
Good luck.
