We have a couple of users with O2K installed in CW mode, set to use mailboxes on our EX5.5SP4 servers and also POP mailboxes on a Unix machine. They want mail to Internet addresses to go out via the SMTP smarthost set up in the POP configuration, so they have the Internet Mail transport at the top of the delivery stack above the Exchange service.
The users *claim* that up to 6 weeks ago it worked as they wanted; but since then *all* messages go out via the Exchange server. We've tried on a test system using O2K SP2, and find that about 1 in 4 messages to Internet addresses don't go via the SMTP transport but use the Exchange server. The connection to the SMTP server is reliable on a LAN - there's not enough time for it to be timing out, and testing shows that if O2K gets a refused connection from the smarthost you get a popup message. So it looks like the client just doesn't always respect the defined transport stack order. Has anyone got any ideas what might be going on? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
