Re: Exchange 5.5 and 2003

Hi Rich,
WIth the message that got through, it was not just plain text, the inline
images were converted to attachments with the mime-type of:
-*-*-*--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Content-Type: image/gif;
name="image001.gif"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="image001.gif"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
These worked.

I looked in the E2K3 server, and saw no events related to exchange at all
when the message did not come through. It was as if it dropped into a black
hole after coming into the 5.5 box. Which logging should I turn on in the
2K3 box to see messages of interest?

Both servers are in the same admin group - in this case the ONLY 2 servers
are in the same group (UPMP if the group matters).

Thanks for the extra suggestions - I really need to understand what is going
on - since I am almost ready to drop the 5.5 box totally, I dont want to
have to diagnose this while "live" with no fallback!!
