Googlemail users can’t email the email address

emailgmailmediatemple

I have a GridServer account at MediaTemple. The address linked up to my MT account is mail@mysite.com.

My non-Google email address could email mail@mysite.com just fine. But when my friend tried to email it from his gmail address, he got the following message:

From: Mail Delivery Subsystem
Date:
Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 12:02 PM Subject:
Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
To: myfriend@gmail.com

Delivery to the following recipient
failed permanently:

mail@mysite.com

Technical details of permanent
failure: Google tried to deliver your
message, but it was rejected by the
recipient domain. We recommend
contacting the other email provider
for further information about the
cause of this error. The error that
the other server returned was: 550 550
relay not permitted (state 14).

Does this work. Does this work. Does
this work?

Hi Friend.

Just testing the email address I set up for My Site. Could you please reply
so I can check if it's working OK?

Cheers

I thought it was just a fluke, but exactly the same thing happens when I use MY Gmail address that I also have. Can anyone shed some light on the problem?

Best Answer

It looks like your domain is rejecting e-mails:

Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain.

Have you tried any other sources for e-mail to see if it's a general problem or if it's just rejecting e-mails from gmail.com.

Double check that you've set up the mail part of your GridServer account correctly.

After than, I'd check with MediaTemple to see if they can shed some light on the problem.
