The user is setup and the email aliases do exist. The email is forwarded from the MYDOMAIN.COM acccount to the individuals local ISPs internet account.

Thanks for any help,

Did they infact check their e-mail first before trying to relay through your server?

What exactly do you mean by checking email before relaying?

(I have logged into the POP account of the only user of that Domain.) No email there as I can't send to that account without getting that error

try hitting send/receive button before trying to send an email is what he is talking about if you didnt get that already

yeah, with POP before relay installed, you have to have check your POP account before you're authorized to send. cuts back a little on the spammers using sendmail for their spam.......

i use pocomail (http://www.pocomail.com/), which is the best POP/APOP client i've ever used, and just write my emails, queue them, then have it automatically send my queue'd email when poco checks my mail....

however, i'm on the beta crew for poco, and the dude coding it said he'd try and implement something in the new version for the folks using sendmail and POP before relay....which would be nice.
