Subject: E2K3 server using E55's IMS
Hi fellow Exchange administrators,
I've been reading the list for a week or so, and I'm really impressed! You
folks truly know what you're talking about! Anyway, this is my first post,
so please be kind :)
I manage 4 production Exchange 5.5 (SP4 all patches applied, on Windows
2000) servers. I just installed our very first Exchange 2003 (with SP1)
server, and it was a bit rocky at first, but all is well now. I've put a
couple test mailboxes on it - one I successfully moved from one 5.5 server,
and one I created from scratch - and they are able to send and receive email
just fine using Outlook 2000.
Here's the strange part. On both the test mailbox I moved, and the new one I
created on the new E2K3 server, when I send email from either account,
instead of the E2K3 server sending the email directly to my smarthost, it
connects to the IMS of the old E55 server, which then connects to my
smarthost! Here is a chunk of the relevant headers. The real machine names
have been changed to protect the guilty!:
Received: from E55server.mydomain.myorg.local (E55server.lcms.org
[10.1.3.104]) by

It's clear from the Message-Id that the message originated from the E2K3
server. Yet, the Internet Mail Service on the old server handled the mail
before it got to our smart host at lcms.org. I'm concerned that after I move
all the mailboxes and decommission the old server, email will stop working
altogether, since I can't seem to manage getting the email to go directly
from new server to smart host. I did put the smart host name into the "Smart
Host" place on the SMTP server properties, too.
Miraculously, going the other direction, even though I use a smart host, and
specifically forward email from that host to the 5.5 server, after moving
the mailbox and doing nothing else, the test account could receive mail just
fine, even without repointing the forward to the new server. Man, does that
save me a lotta work! So, lots of benefits on the receiving end, but a quirk
on the sending end.
Thanks for any light you might shed on this oddity.
