Send email notification from WSUS
Franz Leu
Hi
Since I have changed some settings on the Exchange to fight SPAM, WSUS
throws the following error when trying to send a notification:
System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Fehler bei Transaktion. Die Serverantwort
war: 5.1.0 Sender Denied
bei
Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.SoapExceptionProcessor.DeserializeAndThrow(SoapException
soapException)
bei
Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.DatabaseAccess.AdminDataAccessProxy.SendTestEmail(String
emailLanguage, String smtpUserName, String senderEmailAddress, String
smtpHostName, Int32 smtpPort, String recipients)
bei
Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.EmailNotificationConfiguration.SendTestEmail()
bei
Microsoft.UpdateServices.UI.SnapIn.Dialogs.EmailNotificationSettingsDialog.backgroundWorker_DoWork(Object
sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
It's all on one SBS2003R2. I thought that local email is not affected by
the settings I changed.
Any idea?
Thanks

So.... what settings did you change?
If you =unchange= them, does the problem go away?
If so, and you add them back one-at-a-time ... which "change" causes the
problem?

Not without knowing what you changed!

If I remove it, WSUS email is fne, if I add it back in, its gone.

Well... then... don't do that. :-)
The issue here would seem to be understanding the use and implications of
Message Delivery | Sender Filtering.
BLOCK MESSAGES THAT CLAIM TO BE FROM THE FOLLOWING SENDERS:
You add '*@ourdomain.com',
and the WSUS Server is trying to send a message
FROM: wsuss...@ourdomain.com
and it gets blocked.
No real surprise here, Franz. :-)

As I found in some documentation the entry I did helps fighting Spam
if(!) all email from your domain is sent/generated through the local
Exchange server only. Because an email from our domain cannot come from
somewhere else, they are all blocked.
I didn't realize that from Exchange's view WSUS is external as well,
even on the same Machine (SBS).
