The reason I am trying to setup these 2 servers to peer is because the mail system that houses all of the accounts right now is extremely busy, pegged at 100%. From looking at my network monitoring utility for the time period when the second system started rejecting mail it would appear that the primary system was so busy that SMTP could not respond. That happens from time to time. Is it possible that if the peer system was not available to respond to a VRFY command for 20 minutes or so that the server would reject the mail as a invalid user. From looking at the logs and the network monitor this would appear to be what has happened.

Not according to the (documented) functionality of "Auto-deny possible hack attempts." I have set up peering successfully for a few clients and it's held up well. When you try to send to a local-seeming, but nonexistent username via Telnet (just a gibberish username in <> angle brackets, no domain, is a quick way to test this), does the server say "OK Accepted for peer"? If not, it's not even getting to the VRFY stage. Sandy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
