well that is not what is happening here...currently the queues of messages is building up...and the settings are the same...but the ip is not available....remember that we are instruicting Exchange directly to send @x2.abc.com to specific IP...why do we need DNS in that scenario?

If there is a record in dns for the host yet the host is down, exchange will retry transmit of message (host is down or unreachable). If the domain is registered yet authorative nameservers are not available, exchange will retry until nameservers become available or until the retry period is over (network error during host resolution). -----Original Message----- From: Romero, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2001 10:09 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: alternate recipient + delivery to email domain Hi all MSX5.5+SP4. we have some mailboxes that use "delivery to" "alternate recipient" the alternate recipient is @x2.abc.com also we have insructed the IMC through connections\specify by email the x2.abc.com and "forward all messages to this domain" to the IP of that host. all works fine when that Host is on. problem is that when they turn the server off, we start getting error 3010/3011/4031 and messages bounce back to the sender. I have checked the "Service messages queues" in the IMC Retry interval (hrs)=.25,.5,1,4 Timeout (hrs)=Urgent=24,normal=48,non-urgent=72 as for what I checked messages stay iun the outbound queue just one hour. the parametrs show above should guarantee me to stay at least 24Hrs If the hosts is off let say 8 hours the sender get (immediately) the following NDR Your message To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: er Sent: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 07:52:58 -0800 did not reach the following recipient(s): [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Sun, 28 Oct 2001 07:53:36 -0800 The recipient name is not recognized The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=us;a= ;p=company;l=N20110281553VYZH90R4 MSEXCH:IMS:Company:site:N 3550 (000B09AA) 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [EMAIL PROTECTED] what could be happening? is like Exchange after retrying thinks that the domain @x2.abc.com does not exist and send the NDR to the sender..please consider that the deliver of messages is ok when that Hosts is ON. Note: we do not use DNS nor Hosts entry for @x2.abc.com as we just indicate the IP of that host in the "forward all messages to this domain"..tha Hosts receives messages just from us so they do not have any prescense on the internet...other than its IP address Tia -ER _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
