Email Rejected, using Protect - Email in XGS

Hello,

in the last few days I have noticed that certain emails are not being delivered, and I observed in the Sophos XGS 126 smtp_mail.log that the emails are being rejected. The senders and recipients exist and are known.

This issue started occurring, at least as I have been informed, after the latest firewall update XGS126 (SFOS 20.0.1 MR-1-Build342) 

Mail Logs in GUI I get Status

I have currently disabled Recipient verification in Spam protection.
I am wondering what might be wrong and how I should address this issue?

Thank you for your help.

  • Hello Stojan,

    this happens sometimes when the callout is not answered in a timely manner. Maybe your internal server is not responding to this?

    If you use Windows ADS we could change this to "In Active Directory" instead of "with callout" (to the mailserver).
