- If your email account is not in ACTIVE status (either SUSPENDED or BLACKLISTED) then you will see the above mentioned error message while sending emails from that email account.
- For a suspended email account, you need to contact the administrator of email dashboard. For a blacklisted email account, you need to contact our Abuse helpdesk.
550 5.1.1 Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table;
- This is the bounce back message that is received by the sender from our server if the destination email address does not exist.
- The same error message is received if the recipient has a mail loop. That is, if the recipient has set a forward to another email address and that email address is forwarded back to the original one. In this case, you need to remove the loop in order to receive the emails.
- If there is a forward set for an account, and an email is sent to that account, if for some reason the forwarded email is not sent, the original sender may get the above error.
For example, [email protected] if forwarded to [email protected], if a third user [email protected] emails to [email protected], he may get the above error if the forwarded email is bounced.
550 5.1.1 Protocol error
This error code ideally suggests that the sender has used SMTP protocol instead of ESMTP, thus the outbound mail of the sender was rejected. In short, the sending client doesn't properly communicate and makes errors in the SMTP protocol.
550 5.3.2 Service currently unavailable
The error code 5.3.2 usually means that the system is not accepting network messages. We would thus need to look outside Exchange for a connectivity problem.
The error code ideally occurs ideally for two reasons which are listed below:
1). The sending IP is blacklisted at an RBL or blacklist monitoring site. (You may verify the same by inputting the IP via this link:http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx )
2). There is a temporary block on the IP on our Inbound server due to multiple mails from this IP. Feel free to contact our support desk for more information and regarding de-listing the same.
3). If sending IP does not have a reverse PTR record configured. Reference URL: http://mxtoolbox.com/NetworkTools.aspx

552 5.3.4 Message size exceeds fixed limit
