Domain name not accepted when contains -

Hi,

I have tried to adding our domain to the EFA server however it looks as though it does not like any domains with a - in the domain name. If i add our domain name which contains a dash and test communication using tenet i get the error Recipient address rejected: Domain not found. However if i then add another domain that does not contain a dash i get 5.5.4 Syntax: RCPT TO:<address>
TO:david@test.com
2.1.5 Ok

So it looks as though there is a bug in the system where you cannot use a domain name that contains a dash which is a shame as would have liked to have used this system. Unless anyone knows of a workaround I don't think i will be able to use this system in our environment?

Thanks

David

I use efa-project.org just fine so that should not be an issue :)

But testing from telnet is unreliable do you have the same issue when sending an mail from an different mail server?

Hi,

Yes the mail never arrives to the server it just sits until i take the EFA server out of the loop then the email goes through ok.

When i added another domain that we use that does not contain the - the mail was accepted by the EFA server both on telnet and sent from external server

Thanks
