Error : Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [IP-Address]

Posted on April 8, 2014

Here I am trying to send mail using Java Mail API. When I am trying to test this to send mail to users from my office public IP address, it works but when I deploy my application to main server then it fails to send the mail, simply getting error message “Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [IP-Address]”

Here all articles says you have to allow relay from certain hosts is to add those hosts to /etc/mail/local-host-names

You just need to make those changes to the mailserver that is running on your droplet.

Can you guys help me , where I have to configure this ??

Could you provide some more details about your set up? What kind of SMTP server are you trying to relay through? Is it something you control or an ISP’s? <br> <br>From your droplet, can you run: <br> <br>telnet the.smtp.server.domain 25 <br>
