This isn't "Exchange 101" per se, but you have your cluster set up wrong. I know that that isn't much specific help - but it's the fact. Jumping right in without knowing a lot more details would be ill-advised in my opinion.
There are some excellent white papers on clustering at technet.microsoft.com/exchange. Regards, Michael B.

We have 3 clustered E2K3 servers, two active, one passive, and it's worked fine since I set it up. The issue we have is that to deliver mail, the node has to be specified in the email address, i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] We want to remove the 'node1' or 'node2' and use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sending an email to a user not existing on a node returns this error :- [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 11/08/2008 15:20 A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients. Contact your administrator. <node1.internal.uwic.ac.uk #5.3.5> The two nodes don't seem to 'trust' eachother. I'm guessing this is the first hurdle in removing the node from the address entirely. Basically I need the active nodes to work out where the mailbox is, and deliver the mail. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
