Before they ask me to do it, I am trying to gather information on what would be the best way. Everything I have read indicates that it is a very bad idea to change the name of your mail server once it is place. Unfortunately I named my mail server MSEXPKCE. It made sense to me MS for Microsoft EX for Exchange. I now have several places rejecting mail from my server because I have the word S---------E----------X in my mail server name. In fact as I am writing this I wonder how many content filters are going to bounce this message. All advice welcome.
