I have Exchange 2013 running on Server 2012. It has started to reject quite a lot of inbound emails. I collect them with EFS on the same server and send them via SMTP. EFS shows that the emails are rejected - it doesn't say why. Some of these are regular text emails - nothing odd about them. If I send an email from my gmail it always works. Other emails work. In an ideal world I would like all emails to appear in my exchange mailbox - I will worry about filtering spam and virus content.

Why is Exchange rejecting the emails and is there a way to tell it to pass all emails through?

At request here is the header from a rejected email

Return-Path: <web-filing@companies-house.gov.uk>
Received: from ws-mail1.companieshouse.gov.uk (ws-mail1.companieshouse.gov.uk [194.75.36.66]) by mail.softsyshosting.com with SMTP;

    Can it be a EFS error ? as usually exchanhe don't reject by default unless a error in the mail itselft – yagmoth555 Oct 14 '17 at 14:22
  • Do you have the header from a rejected email? This would be VERY helpfull if you can post it here. – BastianW Oct 15 '17 at 08:50
  • It does seem to be an exchange issue. Following up on your EFS comment, I installed Hexamail. It sees more of the error: "Next server responded with error: 451 4.7.0 Temporary server error. Please try again later. PRX2 15/10/2017 13:50:35 Message: Queuing email for retry". It does deliver it later though – Rob Oct 15 '17 at 13:27
