If you haven't already done so, make sure that on each end of the X.400
connector define the remote MTA by IP address, not by name.  The X.400
connector, which I love for exactly the purpose for which you are using
it, is notoriously poor at name resolution.

Subject: MTA Issues


Hello all,

I am having an issue with an X.400 connection from my hub server to a
remote site. My current environment is as follows: All mail servers are
Exchange 5.5 SP4/WinNT4 SP6a all hotfixes applied. The remote EX server
is also the BDC in remote domain. The sites are connected by a
fractional T1 at 384K. There is minimal utilitization on the link but
the MTA continually queues mail going from the hub server to the  remote
site in question. I repeatedly get Event ID: 289 and 1294 from
MSExchangeMTA whenever this happens. I have had reports run on the QOS
of the fractional T1 and all comes back clean. The strange part about
all of this is if a user in the remote site sends a message that is
routed to the hub server then the X.400 connection opens and the queue
on the hub server flushes. The queue on the remote server never seems to
back up. I am using IP's in the Address space of the X.400 Stack
properties, so that fix did nothing.

Please help me, I'm beating my head against the wall with this one.
