If all users have the same SMTP address (@skilled.com.au) and you haven't set each default recipient policy to be non-authoratative with an appropriate connector to the other server, then you will end up with the mail loop condition you are seeing.

I have not setup any extra recipient policies other than what was created when Exchange was installed. The "default policy" has 2 addresses ticked. SMTP @skilled.com.au X400 c=AU,a:= ;p=Skilled Engineer;o=Victoria I have looked at Q288175/Q284204 which is a close but not exact match. Eg, - Numerical Code: 5.4.8 First Available: Exchange 2000 Service Pack 1 Possible Cause: Warning of a looping condition. One known case is that one of the recipient policies includes a local domain that matches the FQDN of an Exchange server in the organization. When the Transport Categorizer is processing mail destined for a domain that matches a Exchange Server's FQDN, it will return NDR the message with this error. Troubleshooting: If it was caused by having an Exchange server's FQDN in the recipient policy, you must remove that entry. -----Original Message----- From: Julian Stone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 7 May 2002 3:44 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Email not working b/n 2 Exchange 2000 servers What is your configuration ?
