Not enough information.
Is this one of it's domains for which the Exchange
server has a recipient policy? That's the most likely
reason.
Can you tell us more about the
scenario?

thats because this addy has special needs.
its a journal contact that needs to be routed out a dedicated connector to
a journal server.
i still don't understand why exchange rewrites the address to domain.com instead of servername.domain.com.
thanks

I may regret asking this, but recall I don't know squat about Exchange message routing.Why do you need a connector? If the name is resolvable from your server, it doesn't seem like it should need anything special to get to it.joe

I have a contact with the addy of [EMAIL PROTECTED].I created a smtp connector with an address space of *.domain.com.when exchange 2k sends an email destined for [EMAIL PROTECTED] thru that smtp connector, it rewrites the addy in the RCPT TO: as [EMAIL PROTECTED], taking out the servename.i see this in the smtp logs on the server and the remote server dosen't accept mail to that addy and is saying "relay not allowed".Now, my question-why is exchange rewriting the address just because i'm using a wildcard in the connector address space?is this by design?What if i wanted a connector going to every domain under domain.com like subdomain.domain.com and childdomain.domain.com ?wouldn't i just create a connector with an address space of *.domain.com?should exchange 2k just forward the email without changing the RCPT TO: headers?am i wrong and clueless as usual?what am i missing?i'm running Exchange 2k post sp3 rollup in mixed mode(but no exchange 5.5 servers or ADC).Thanks alot
