Hi,

we are using Fogbugz on our server to do customer support emails.

Occasionally though we get errors coming back when sending emails of:

550 relay not permitted

This seems to happen at random though, sometimes sending an email to a person works, next time to the same person it'll bounce back.

I've tried setting up reverse DNS with the server host and creating the SPF record in GoDaddy but we still get some of these errors.

Is there anything else I can do, and is there a way of testing these are actually configured correctly?

Many thanks,
Nick
