    I did a fresh install of Microsoft Exchange  2016 and i get this error,

    Attempting to send a test email message to capnbio@swiftgaming.us using MX mail.swiftgaming.us.

    The server returned status code 421 - Service not available, closing transmission channel. The server response was: 4.3.2 Service not active
    Exception details:
    Message: Service not available, closing transmission channel. The server response was: 4.3.2 Service not active
    Type: System.Net.Mail.SmtpException
    Stack trace:
    at System.Net.Mail.MailCommand.CheckResponse(SmtpStatusCode statusCode, String response)
    at System.Net.Mail.SmtpTransport.SendMail(MailAddress sender, MailAddressCollection recipients, String deliveryNotify, Boolean allowUnicode, SmtpFailedRecipientException& exception)
    at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)
    at Microsoft.Exchange.Tools.ExRca.Tests.SmtpMessageTest.PerformTestReally()

    I did the test on the connectivity test for Microsoft exchange server, and I get this error, not sure what exactly I did wrong, but I need help.

    Did you configure any accepted domains?  What about firewall rules?  Is port 25 opened?

    Please ensure that you have the correct DNS record. If you have a specific set of IPs you get mail for, then you can limit it there if you want for an extra layer or protection.  But you won't be an open relay unless you create an accepted domain policy for. Check this blog for how to Configure Exchange Server 2016 for SMTP Application Relay: http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2016-smtp-relay-connector/

    Also check this earlier thread might helps you: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/63bf5981-faa6-40d0-93cd-f5b15d780f73/error-421-exchange-server-2007?forum=exchangesvrsecuremessaginglegacy

    For your server to receive email from the internet and deliver it to internal recipients there needs to be:
    - An Accepted Domain configured for the organization
    - An email address assigned to the recipient
    - MX records in your public DNS zone
    - SMTP connectivity from external senders to your Exchange server, or a mail route that leads to your Exchange server
    Get in detailed here: http://exchangeserverpro.com/inbound-mail-flow-for-exchange-server-2016/

    Hi CapnBio,

    Given the error “the server response was: 4.3.2 Service not active”, please check and try as following ways:

    1. Added your sending IP Address to the field "Receive mail from remote server that have this IP Address" of your receive connector;
    2. Check and make sure the Exchange transport service are running correctly;
    3. Make sure all exchange components are in active state;
    4. Check if any related event error in Application log;
    5. Any AV installed? If yes, please disable and check the results.

    Hope it helps.

    Hey guys, I will keep you updated with all of your responses, thank you. My port 25 is open, and the server is running as well, and I am sure the back-end is running well, I will keep you updated.

    I am accepting all domains, so i put a wildcard (*) to accept all domains, but that worked on a previous 2013 install. Firewall rules are all ports that are needed by the exchange server are on exceptions, and port 25 is open.

    Thank you for everything, the solution was quite obvious, I forgot a couple of things, basically I forgot about framework 4.6 and was not fully updated either with the hotfix, so now my only issue is that the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer is saying i have an open relay now, which is normal for me since I did put a Wildcard (*) to accept from all domains. Is there a way to get passed it and still pass the tests? Or is it normal?
