Re: Can't Email to Moved Domain

I'm thinking there must still be something in your Exchange configuration
referring to that email domain as being internal...

Susan,

The changes were made two weeks ago today.

I did specify an IP address to send to the domain in the test SMTP
connector, but again, when I looked at the log, there was never an entry
for
queued for remote delivery the way there was for every other external
email.

when did all these changes take place? when you configured the smtp

Susan,

Yes. There is no gateway server, and I'm only using the built in
SMTP -
there is no custom SMTP connector - though I did temporarily set one up
to
try to debug this problem. I set the test connector for the moved
company's
namespace - no effect.

Also, using NSLookup the moved domain's mail exchanger resolves
correctly
no
matter what DNS server I query.

Also, when I look at the log, the file is never queued for remote
delivery.

does your Internet email go straight out from the Exchange server

We had a sister company operating within our WAN. We hosted their
mail
on
our single Exch 2003 server. This company was sold and moved off of
our
servers. We removed all of their information from our Exchange
server.

I have deleted all of their mailboxes, AD user accounts, any
reference
to
their domain in the recipient policies, and any entries in our dns
system
for
their domain name.

Still, when we try to send messages to these people at their new
location
we
get an NDR that says "The e-mail account does not exist at the
organization
this message was sent to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the
recipient
directly to find out the correct address." This messages looks to be
coming
from our mail server.

They are still using the same domain name they used at our company
for
their
e-mail. I thinking that somewhere in Exchange it is still trying to
send
them
through itself.

From the exchange server I can do an nslookup on their domain and it
resolves to their new mx records.

If I start a telnet to the SMTP server and try to email to that
moved
company, it does not deliver.

And it gets more curious. If I start a telnet and in the MAIL FROM
field
leave our my domain name it automatically fills in the domain name
of
the
moved company. So, if my company is mycompany.com and theirs is
movedcompany.com, if I type MAIL FROM: Rob the SMTP engine replies
back
Mail from rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Rob
