We are testing a hosted Exchange environment and have run into a snag that I cannot figure out. I am not the main admin for the internal Exchange 2003 box so that is part of the challenge. In order to support users in both environments during the transition, the hosting provider suggested using their split domain option and setting up a forwarding address (alias to the hosted server) on the mailboxes moved to the hosted environment. I can:
1. Send a test message from my gmail account to the alias address successfully. (jb...@domain.serverdata.net) 2. Send a test message from an internal mailbox on our Exchange server to the now hosted address succefully. (jb...@domain.net) But if I send from my gmail account to the correct domain email address ( jb...@domain.net), the message never arrives. If I use the message tracking center on my Exchange server I see the missing email with an NDR after the SMTP: Started Outbound Transfer of Message. The second test sent internally shows a successful outbound transfer to the hosted environment. Does any one have any idea of what may be causing this? Its been a while since I dug into an Exchange 2003 box. I can't remember where or if I can dig up the NDR since it is never sent to my gmail account. Thanks!
