Recently brought a 2003 server online to replace our
existing 5.5 server. Used the whole migration path as
documented by MS and just shut down the 5.5 server. Ran
IMW on 2003 and everything seems to be working fine,
except a few complaints from users stating that some mail
has not made it to them from outside domains.

I ran the standard IMC test on the 2003 server as
documented by MS and checked DNS using dnsresports and all
seem ok.

Can someone offer another way to test the reliabilty of
inbound mail?
