Thanks for the info Andy. I think that will help quite a bit. I set it up
and added a bunch of the old email address addresses as aliases. I also set
a small size limit on it. That brings up another question:
If you have a size limit specified for users' mailboxes, does exchange deny
the email
But I believe that just turns it off. It doesn't disable it
(I could be
wrong, but that's how I believe it to be). A user could just
turn it back
on.
BTW - That's called 'web beaconing' (when images are use for
tracking). It's
a very effective method for determining if email addresses
Some questions:
1) Was this working before you added the second SMTP Virtual Server?
2) What client are you using to send the email?
3) By blank are you talking about the message body of the email? If so,
was anything typed into it in the first place?
