Password recovery fails with error "550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected]_mail.com" in "SecurityNotifyTask-0.log"
A forgotten password needs to be recovered using the option "Forgot your password ?" on the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) console logon screen.
The username for the password recovery and SEPM domain are typed correctly.
After enabling Apache Tomcat debugging for SEPM Server with the parameter described in TECH230072, the debug log titled, "SecurityNotifyTask-0.log" shows the following error after SEPM sends the email for password recovery:

550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected]_mail.com
(* where "[email protected]_mail.com" is the actual SEPM administrator mail)
