A user gets ``Sender address rejected: Access denied. Please check the`` ``message recipient […] and try again`` even though the sender is legitimate?
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
First, check if you are really sure the user is a legitimate sender, i.e. the registered user is authenticated successfully and own either the account or alias he/she is trying to send from. If you are really sure this is correct, then the user might try to errornously send via port 25 insteadof the designated SMTP client-ports. Port 25 is meant for server-to-server delivery, while users should use port 587 or 465.
