Thanks Steve, found this out eventually.... odd that lots of stuff leaves
the last bit off! I agree about the really bad idea... been having a
running argument with a client about this who refuses to change but b** like
about his terrible mail system....

I have changed an SBS2003 so that Exchange is not authoritative ie in the
default recipient policy the "This Exchange Organisation is responsible
for all mail delivery to this address" the box is not ticked.

I can still not send mail externally to xxxx.com.au for external users and
get 5.1.1 errors. We have forced updates, rebooted server etc to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Just telling Exchange it's not authoritative is not enough. You must also
tell it what to do with messages for which it doesn't have a recipient in
the SMTP Virtual Server properties > Messages tab > Forward all unresolved
mail to host box.

Note that configuring Exchange using a domain name that you share with an
ISP is a really bad idea. You're much better off in the long-run to only
use one service.
