Scott, Below is the IMail log file entry for one of the messages that is failing. Perhaps this can shed some light on what might be happening. As always, I appreciate any help you can be. Again, it is only happening to this one Exchange 5.5 server and it only happens from this one Imail Server.

Are you using "Relay for Addresses" (which I believe you need to use for gateway E-mail to work)? If you telnet to port 25 on the Exchange server from the IMail server, does it connect? -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
