I just set up blackberry alerts on our BES. I cannot get the server to send out smtp messages to the appropiate receiptents. Here is what the event log reveals :

This is what triggers off all the other errors I get in the event log once a warning message is received (set manually).

DoSMTPCommand: Expected 250 or -1, got 501

DoSMTPCommand: Response was: 501 <XXXXXX>: sender address must contain a domain

Original I made a mistake of not adding @doman.com after the bes admin account. But I made that change, stop the BlackBerry Alert service and also the Router service for 20 minutes. Checked again and I still see a bunch of error messages after I did that.

I am able to telnet to our smtp server via command line. Successful in sending out emails using the bes admin acct.

What else should I do? It looks like the bes alerts are still following the original configuration i set up w/o the @domain.com

Check your settings against this article:

BlackBerry Search Results

If everything checks out then post the errors you are receiving. You only need to restart the Alert service, the Router is only for the Send As issue.

Also, you don't have to use the BESAdmin account either, you could use any account you want to receive the alerts.

Keep us posted.

thanks for the reply. I don't know if this means much, but when I started the BES Alert again, in the event log I received the following :

EventLog::DisplayEntries: Event log requires 74444 bytes instead of 8192 bytes.

Try changing the following registry key.

Create the MxDisabled registry key to revert to previous BESAlert functionality:
1. Open the registry editor (Start > Run > type regedit).
2. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\BESAlert
3. Create a new DWORD value called MxDisabled and give it a value of 1.
4. Restart the BlackBerry Alert service.

PERFECT! Worked like a charm! Thanks again.

This worked for me as well, THANK YOU!!
