Status code 550- Mailbox unavailable.. server response was: 5.7.1 UNABLE TO RELAY on Edge Server 2010

exchangeexchange-2010

I have setup an Exchange 2010 environment with an Edge Server, Hub Trans/Client Access Server, and 2 Mailbox Servers in a DAG. Today I pointed the mx record to my Edge Server and am receiving the following: 

Attempting to send test email message to test.account@1.dev.example.com using MX 192.168.19.165. 
  Delivery of the test message failed. 
   Additional Details 
  Server returned status code 550 - Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay
Exception details:
Message: Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay
Type: System.Net.Mail.SmtpFailedRecipientException
Stack trace:

at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)
at Microsoft.Exchange.Tools.ExRca.Tests.SmtpMessageTest.PerformTestReally()

I have setup the Edge Subscription on the Hub Transport, Added an A record to DNS for the Edge Server, Added the Hub/CAS to the Edge Server's Hosts file but yet still get this error. I just tried cmd "start-edgesyncronization" which errors saying "unable to contact the EdgeSync Service.

Event Log shows:

It appears that EdgeSync is not running, but I am stumped.

Okay so I was able to solve this issue on the THIRD attempt of what was in my mind the same steps.

  1. removed the edgesubscription from the Hub Transport in EMC
  2. on Edge Server, ran "new-edgesubscription -filename "c:\exchange3.xml"", and imported that new xml to the hub server edge subscriptions.
  3. restarted both servers
  4. on Hub Server, ran "start-edgesubscription" SUCCESS something about doing it three times, I don't know :)

*I already had both the Hub and Edge server Hosts files including the opposite server's ip and name, as well as an A name record set in DNS for the Edge Server. Firewalls were off but if not, then proper ports need to be allowed
