Exchange not excepting my email from a script

[Candidog]

I have a website that sends contact information via an email to a user on my Exchange 2003 server. The script is written in PHP and works great if I point it to any of my personal email address. But when I point it to my email address on my Exchange Server i'm not getting it. I thought maybe because I'm running Recipent Filtering that might be blocking these email to my exchange server? I turned recipent filtering off but still no luck? I do have a spam server in front of my Exchange server but its not catching it?

Any ideas what else it could be. But if I email myself normally not from my personal account to my exchange server account it works fine?

Any ideas why?

Turn up SMTP logging and try again. See what the log says.

If it's a PHP script you wrote, do some error checking and see if you can capture the SMTP traffic and see what's happening.

I've turn on SMTP logging and send multipled emails via my script and they are not even showing up in my SMTP logs? Don't call me stupid I definately have the email address to the Exchange server correct? Any ideas, may be cause I have no from address the server thinks its spam?

Might be obvious, but it sounds to me that the problem lies within the Exchange 2003 server.

Just wondering if Exchange 2003 might have a problem when an email does not have a "From:" address.

Just thinking out loud here

Are you attempting to send these emails from the same domain your Exchange server is in?

If not, are you performing RDNS lookup in the target domain?

If so, do you have an RDNS record from which you are sending the emails?

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!
