I have two domains, website.com and website.net my primary one is website.net. They are both have the name servers pointed to them and .com is just forwarded to .net

My concern is that when I email user@website.com it bounces back with this error report.

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

user@website.com

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 #5.1.0 Address rejected user@wesbite.com (state 14).

Have you changed the MX records for website.com recently? If so, you might just need to wait a while before the old MX records expire from DNS caches. – Phil Ross Jul 14 '10 at 21:31
By the way, your real 'user@website.com' email address is visible in the error message you have posted (at the end of the long line that starts 'Google tried to deliver your message'). – Phil Ross Jul 14 '10 at 21:32

It sounds like your host.com email provider isn't setup to accept that domain. From the error message, it looks like your email host is GoDaddy. I would verify your settings from their web portal then call them to see if something messed up while propagating the domain information in their mail server.

You've got an Exchange tag in your post so I'm assuming you're using Exchange server as your email server. If so, then you need to tell Exchange that it is authoratative for both domains. In Exchange 2003 you do this in your Recipient Policy.
