RE: FYI - MSFT doesn't tell all it knows

Further on this to my earlier comment - not a good assumption that Exchange/SMTP service "re-invented" anything. You find code re-use throughout Microsoft. Very possible they simply forked code from the OS to use in Exchange/SMTP service, and this is being included as the first patch in this ar

RE: FYI - MSFT doesn't tell all it knows

I don't think that that has ever been hidden info. Exchange, since at least 5.5, has had the option of using different DNS servers for outgoing resolution; somewhat necessitating it having a different resolver. (This doesn't mean that I defend them fixing things they didn't tell about.) Regards
