The strange thing is, The lotus notes server can send out email successully
to other email server, except my Exchange. And I have no authorization to
do any change to Lotus Box.
My questions is if this is Lotus's fault, can the Exchange do some
configration change and accept email from Lotus?

Thanks
Sidney
