Costs are not reliable. It's better to remove the * address space, and for a belt-and-suspenders effect add some unroutable domain in there like clownpenis.fart [1], then stop and restart the IMS, and then recalculate routing. You can do that before removing the IMS just in case you have to put it back if things don't work right.

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 lcms.org (PMDF V6.2-X27 #30879) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tue, 21 Sep 2004 12:07:25 -0500 (CDT) Received: by E55server.lcms.org with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72) id <RMBGFW7K>; Tue, 21 Sep 2004 12:07:23 -0500 Content-Return: allowed Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 12:07:11 -0500 From: Wahlers Test2 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Test 2 To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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. ==================================== Larry Wahlers, Systems Specialist Concordia Technologies The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod _________________________________________________________________ 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 send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
