Mark, I've experienced this exact problem which was corrected after upgrading the Exchange SP2.... Give this a try. I have not fully read the SP2 fixes but I willing to bet this issue was addressed in SP2.
Hope this helps! Ed -----Original Message----- From: Mark Peoples [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 11:17 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: X.400 problem... That being the case, is it worth deleting the e5.5 IMC (or changing the addressing to clownpenis.fart), and re-creating the e2k server SMTP connector at the same time? Will this make the e2k SMTP connector visible? -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 31 January 2002 4:04 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: X.400 problem... Then I would guess that something is wrong in the configuration of your Exchange 2000 SMTP Connector where it won't route to the Internet or it isn't seen by the other server.

Ed, I just tried the clownpenis.fart thing... and when I send a message from a recipient on that e2k serverm I get the following NDR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 1/31/2002 3:48 PM The e-mail address could not be found. Perhaps the recipient moved to a different e-mail organization, or there was a mistake in the address.

What's the address space tab show on the Exchange 5.5 server? If the only entry is a star, delete the star entry and add a new one for domain "clownpenis.fart". Then recalculate routing. See if messages don't go out the right path.

Sorry, yes, there are 2 SMTP connectors under 'connectors'. I have named them "Internet Mail Service"... sorry for the confusion. 1 connector is the SMTP connector on the e2k server to the internet 1 connector is a greyed out e5.5 IMC.

What do you mean an Exchange 2000 server with an Internet Mail Service? That term does not apply to Windows 2000. I am asking specifically if you have an SMTP Connector on your Windows 2000 server. What do you show under Connectors?

Yes, I have: 1 e5.5 SP4 server with an IMC. This is the only thing that prevents me from turning the server off (cost of IMC = 100). 1 x exchange 2000 SP1 server with an Internet Mail Service (cost=1) 1 x exchange 2000 SP1 server that uses x.400 to communicate with the e5.5 server rather than using SMTP to communicate with the IMS on the other e2k server. This is where the problem lies... All servers are in the same org / site.

Hi, I have an e2k server that routes internet-bound messages to the x400 connector and then to my E5.5 server for tranmission. When I disable the MTA and IMC on the e5.5 server, instead of messages travelling via SMTP to another e2k server in the site (with an IMS), the messages sit in the x400 queue (on the e2k server) waiting for the MTA on the e5.5 server to be started. All servers are in the same outing and administrative groups. Inbound e-mail travels the correct route (e2k->e2k). I have tried disabling the Exchange services on the e5.5 server and restarting the MTA and routing services on the offending e2k server.... to no avail. Any ideas on how to 'convince' the offending e2k server to natively talk to the other e2k server first?
