Thank you for your response, two additional questions in responds to your
answer.
1. With the two customers previously involved do you know was Novell's
support involved with trying to resolve the issue we are looking at opening
a case with Novell and I would hate to pay for a support call if there is no
possible resolution from there end. If not I will open a case with them and
report back any information we discover.

2. What about Novell's connector being used against Exchange 2003?
Novell's website says it works through 2000, are the too many underlying
change to 2003 to make it work, even in compatibility mode?
