Thanks Ong, that was just what I was looking for and it did the job!! I can now route mail that arrives at our 5.5 box for a certain domain to another internal Exchange 2000 box. Still have a slight issue with sending mail from recipients from the 2000 box to recipients on the 5.5 box but I'm sure I'll work it out. Thanks again.
