I am trying to finish my configuration of Database Mail on my sp1 build 2153 sql server. I believe to have set it up properly but i still can't get a test message through. My error message reads:
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 3 (2006-08-09T15:14:00). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Transaction failed. The server response was: Mail from <account email address> rejected for policy reasons.). )
Everything that needs to be enabled, i.e. service broker, SQL Server Agent properties, deafult profile in msdb table, services restarted. Is this message a result of Sql server policy or the smtp server? Is there a process in the transaction Sql server initiates that could be causing the policy violation that i need to tell the email admin about?
Thanks for your reply.

This turned out to be a DNS or relay issue. When i got the right IP address, it worked fine. I tried IP previously, the same message came back. The mail server is in another domain, which complicated the issue.
