How to Fix 450 4.7.1

Follow these steps to resolve this SFR SMTP error and restore normal delivery.

  • Set PTR records that map each IP to a descriptive, unique hostname.
  • Update the SMTP HELO string to match the reverse DNS value.
  • Avoid generic cloud hostnames like ip-10-1-1-1.compute.internal.
  • Document DNS changes so they survive infrastructure migrations.
