Public folder suddenly rejecting external email

Hi I hope someone out there can help me out.

I just discovered today that one of my public folder that had been email
enabled no longer accepts external emai and now only accept internal email.

This would be despite the fact that it has worked fine for months, has not
gone over the mailbox size limit, and is set to accept email from everyone
and does NOT have the box checked to only accept email from Authenticated
users.

I can see in my "Message Tracking center" that the email comes in through my
backend server, gets delivered to my front end server and even gets delivered
to the local store. at this point the server then sends out a NDR saying only
that the delivery failed. (see below)

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

      xx***@xxxxx.com




Final-Recipient: rfc822;xx***@xxxxxx.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.2.1
X-Display-Name: xxxxxxx

I'm puzzled by your mentioning delivery to a front-end server. Why do you
have PFs on there?
Set up another mail-enabled PF as a test - same results?

Sorry mis-typed. The front-end delivered it to the PF on the backend....

At any rate the above post seems to have fixed my problem, but thank you for
your time.

Hi,

Check that the Anonymous account has Contributor permissions on the
mail-enabled public folder

Thanks!

That's exactly what it was.

How that got changed I'll never know, but thank you.

I would've asked, but you did say that it was set to accept email from
everyone. :-)
