I have a contact with the addy of [EMAIL PROTECTED].
I created a smtp connector with an address space of *.domain.com.
when exchange 2k sends an email destined for [EMAIL PROTECTED] thru that smtp connector, it rewrites the addy in the RCPT TO: as
[EMAIL PROTECTED], taking out the servename.
i see this in the smtp logs on the server and the remote server dosen't accept mail to that addy and is saying "relay not allowed".
Now, my question-
why is exchange rewriting the address just because i'm using a wildcard in the connector address space?
is this by design?
What if i wanted a connector going to every domain under domain.com like subdomain.domain.com and childdomain.domain.com
?
wouldn't i just create a connector with an address space of *.domain.com?
should exchange 2k just forward the email without changing the RCPT TO: headers?
am i wrong and clueless as usual?
what am i missing?
i'm running Exchange 2k post sp3 rollup in mixed mode(but no exchange 5.5 servers or ADC).
Thanks alot
