I made an interesting discovery.  If I conduct a telnet session to the 
relayport of the ASSP from the Exchange server, the mail is logged in the ASSP 
maillog.txt.  So, it would seem to be something about how Exchange is sending 
via its Send Connector that is preventing the mail from being processed by the 
ASSP.

However, when I watch both an Exchange connection and a hand-made telnet 
connection in the SMTP Connections viewer of the ASSP web interface, they 
appear identical.  Both are coming from the same address (10.10.11.5), and all 
the other fields are the same.

Why would one be logged and processed and the other not?
