Just one note of caution. I am sure everyone has thought of this, but here goes.
If you are trying to send an alert via email that the email server is down, then you will need to use some other type of alert like simple text paging. Also, this would apply for any routers or switches between the mail servers and the internet, or between the Whatsup gold box and the mail server. It is sometimes best to state the obvious, or at least what you personally feel is obvious.

If the pager belongs to Jon Doe, then it is much easier to remember [EMAIL PROTECTED] when sending a page, compared to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just setup a new custom recipient with the pager email address and the outside address. Then, when a message comes from the SMTP client in Whatsup to the IMC in Exchange, it simply sends it back out the other address. You can then hide the address from the GAL so that only people that know the naming scheme will be able to send to the pagers.

Works just fine. We now have pagers that accept text emails. For instance, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm having problems with WUG sending emails to the "outside" world. I'm running Exchange 5.5 with SP4. I need to configure my exchange server to relay the messages from the WhatsUpGold server to the outside world. Any ideas on how I can do that?? Thank-you.
