we want to add a new exchange 2000 server at a new site
(active directory site). this site is connected via VPN
to the top location and the server
is connected with a routing group connector to the server
in the top location.
users get mail adresses like user1@site.de at this a
site (mailbox at this server) additional to the local
adress user1@xyz.local. when we now try to send a message
to user1@site.de
we get the following NDR : " #5.7.1 smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable
to relay for user1@site.de ". when we delete this smtp
adress for user1 we can send
a message to the internal adress user1@xyz.local. other
sites are connected similarly to the top location, here
with no problems. but these sites
are connected via leased lines and not via vpn (cisco
pix, vpn concentrator).
any idea what we can do ? is the vpn connection the
problem ?

active directory with domain controller, global catalog
and dns at each site. one active directory and dns domain
(xyz.local)

thanks,
snidder
