Merv
thanks for the link. Quick question though.. After reading the response
above from Lanwench and looking at the action taken in Javier Gomez article,
one solution states to do this by running ICW yet the other does this thru
Exchange System Manager and adding or creating a new SMTP connector. Is one
path preferable over the other or will they both work. Ideally, all I want
to do is add a smart host connector that will handle outgoing emails to SNET
and SBCGLOBAL. Those two are the ones giving us trouble.
