Hrm... do you think exchange is freaking out because they don't have an mx record for
mail.opb.state.ga.us? They have one for opb.state.ga.us ... which gives us the
relaying error... but not for mail.opb.state.ga.us.
opb.state.ga.us 86400 IN MX 10 mail.opb.state.ga.us
opb.state.ga.us 86400 IN NS statens2.state.ga.us

O.K. wierdness continues. I went over to our SMTP relay (Ex 5.5 sp4) to see what was
going on. In the queue I've got a message I sent to opb about 30 min ago... if you
look at it's details it says "network error during host resolution." If I telnet to
port 25 on mail.domain.com from the dmz relay, I connect immediately and can send a
msg using helo, etc. Once again... only seeing problems with this domain... in
particular this addressing format of this domain.

Did you try telneting mail.domain.com 25 and then do a helo and try to send a message?
This will connect on the smtp port and shouldn't take but a cpl seconds for most
sites.

Well I just tried to circumvent the error by just emailing domain.com and got a 550...
relaying prohibited.

Are there any differences in the MX records for mail.domain.com and
domain.com? The DNS zones for these domains are hosted on the same server?
If you try to send some mail manually, via telnet, do you see any suspicious
looking errors?
Cheers,
Marty
