The MTA will have a queue for the MS Mail Connector. The MS Mail Connector will have two queues: one for the MS Mail Interchange service and one for the PCMTA service. In EX5.5, only one of these queues is visible at a time, and it depends on whether the PCMTA service is running. > Does the MTA on the E2K server carry the traffic to and FROM > the MS Mail PO?

No matter what, you need to create "external postoffice" definitions: for the MS Mail postoffice on the Exchange shadow postoffice, and vice versa. Then, you'll have to add MS Mail postoffice routing definitions to your Exchange address space. What moves the messages? That depends on how you want to set it up. The MS Mail way: set up a box running EXTERNAL.EXE. The Exchange way: define a PCMTA service and tell it how to connect to the MS Mail postoffice. I'd recommend the latter, because it's more error-tolerant. > Any other suggestions I should try?

Assuming that the connector architecture hasn't changed much, I'm happy to inspect our EX5.5 configuration and let you know the gory details. We...um...learned a lot in getting ours to run, and I'm happy to share what I know. _________________________________________________________________ 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]
