It's more odd than non-SMTP compliant. Exchange uses some custom extended SMTP verbs like exch50. Creating your own verb isn't SMTP non-compliant, and in several cases Exchange does some of its really cool functionality through these verbs.
Glad you've got a workaround implemented. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Doody [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 2:39 AM Posted To: swynk Conversation: Exchange & SMTP Port numbers Subject: RE: Exchange & SMTP Port numbers > Oh that's going to suck on a number of different levels.

I figured as much, i.e. that the transport between servers is not strictly standard SMTP compliant or there is something odd. > What happens to those messages now?

They just sat in a queue until I put the SMTP service back to port 25, the queue name was (from the Dartford server) REDDITCHEXCH (Remote Delivery) or along those lines. I have gone about the idea a different way now, as I have a qmail box running at the edge of our network (i.e. accepting all mail from the internet) which then runs spamassassin for me, I changed the smtproute to REDDITCHEXCH:26. Changing the smtp route means that the qmail box will now transport all emails to the REDDITCHEXCH on port 26. I have set Symantec SMTP Gateway to listen on port 26 and forward emails to port 25, jobs a gooden! Cheers for the help. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
