No, but you should anyway, just in case you want to change something in the future. If you don't have one already, create an SMTP Connector for the "*" (meaning all, no quotes) address space and leave it set to the default settings.
Back to your original question, you might check with the administrator of the recipient domain to see why they're rejecting mail from yours.

If so, don't do that. Create an SMTP Connector with address space * and define the smart host there.

Is this just a particular e-mail? Have they tried just a plain e-mail as a test? There may have been something in that original e-mail that triggered a filter and caused it to be rejected. However, I have seen similar messages when a configuration change is made on the other end and they stop accepting e-mail for certain domains on accident. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jean-Paul Natola Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 8:07 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: rejected for policy reasons One of my users got this when she attempted to reply to an email "There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server.
