Some of this is probably related to sub-optimally configure SPF and DKIM stuff, which has since been fixed. Now, since there was a chink in the armor, we must now be the cause of all possible delivery issues.

@eddiejennings I'm really glad my users know what "smtp error - dropped by remote host" means.

I don't get to get to see actual SMTP logs with SendGrid, however, I can see in the portal that a message was "delivered," which for my purposes is the MTA on the other end has the message and does with it what it wants.

I'm seeing regular site failures with SW. Is that just me or are they having problems today?

Correct, worse than the baseline.

But I'm in Houston on AT&T rather than home on FiOS, so could just be a crappy local network.

I just discovered the
Send-MailMessagePowerShell cmdlet... this has so many immediate uses.Testing went great.

Or it could be the crappiness of the website in question.

Does one need to setup a email relay for it to work from a workstation?

Probably, I already had an SMTP relay going for O365, and just pointed it at that and it worked.

Same as any random SMTP host. Don’t need it but does your target allow random senders?

I'm not sure understand question. Are asking if the smtp host is allowing anyone to use it? Or the person who would be receiving the email? My smtp host is lockdown at the firewall and is configured to allow certain client machines to use it.
