Jennifer, please read the list! This is discussed every so often! Setting
an IMS to Inbound Only in Exchange 5.5 and earlier will not keep the MTAs
from routing outbound SMTP mail to the IMS server. The way to keep that
from happening is to change the Address Space so that it has but one entry
of "clownpenis.fart". (It has to be that exact domain. Don't ask me why.)
Then the GWARTs won't try to route mail bound to valid SMTP addresses to
that server. Microsoft would call this behavior "by design". If it is by
design then it is a severe and longstanding design flaw.

Subject: oh, man what a mess
After changing a remote IMS from send only Inbound to send Outbound Only
then back to Inbound only mode, many messages (3000) were sent from as far
back as 1999. If the IMS is set to inbound only, would it not send
undeliverables for refused connections or would it just queue the message?
It seems that any other maildomain that is not hosted by the org would be
sent as undeliverable yet it got queued somewhere. Anybody know where? I
have other remote IMS queues that could have the same issue, but I cannot
locate the queue directories on those servers.
I know test it and find out...which is what got me into this mess.
Also, whenever I would make the change it would tell me to restart the
service. I hit ok, restarted the service, reopened the IMS properties and
the apply button would be highlighted as if it never took the change.
After going thru this motion several times, it would behave the same way.
Hope this makes a bit of sense, I am a bit frantic at the moment.
