Users cannot send e-mail messages from a mobile device or from a shared
mailbox in Exchange 2000 Server and in Exchange Server 2003:

I think June was when these changes impacted the security patches?

We use Exchange 2003 running on Win2k3 server Standard Edition
strictly for distribution groups where all user objects have external
SMTP addresses - no Exchange mailboxes, etc. We have a simple single
forest, single site AD Win2k R2 domain.
A message addressed to one of our AD distribution groups
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) results in an out bound message with
multiple RCPT TO entries.
With very few exceptions, the external email addresses are for the
main campus domain ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
This worked well since implementation in February 2006. Lately, there
have been considerable delays in the UIUC campus domain servers
accepting these messages in a timely manner. There have been no
intentional changes to our Exchange server other than the application
of "patch Tuesday" updates and, after becoming aware of these delays,
changing the SMTP connection timeout from the default 10 minutes, to
30, then to 45 and now to 120 minutes.
Do any of you Exchange gurus know of any recent MS updates that would
have changed anything regarding outbound connections with the Exchange
SMTP server?
I suspect the problem is not on our end but don't want to start
pointing fingers without some assurance that nothing has changed here.
