Received Error: 452 4.4.2 Mailbox Full Microsoft SMTP Virtual Server (Server 2008r2)

Emails were bouncing back to a sharepoint list of mine. After further digging I found out there is a little switch in the smtp server setup that puts a quote on a mailbox. I recommend removing this for anyone accepting email into email enabled lists in sharepoint.

Here was the message I was receiving from my exchange server (which forward mail addressed to @sharepoint.seegrid.company to the sharepoint smtp server):

Delivery is delayed to these recipients or groups:

fieldstatus@sharepoint.seegrid.company (fieldstatus@sharepoint.seegrid.company)

Subject: FW: test

This message hasn't been delivered yet. Delivery will continue to be attempted.

The server will keep trying to deliver this message for the next 1 days, 19 hours and 59 minutes. You'll be notified if the message can't be delivered by that time.


So I telnetted to the sharepoint server running the built in Microsoft SMTP Server that comes with Windows Server 2008 R2 and go the following error:

220 sharepoint.seegrid.company Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 7.5.7600.1

After searching around I found the following at: http://www.dawkco.com/software/support/sir200212191418.txt
