    We recently migrated to Exchange 2000 from GroupWise 5.5.
    The server running Exchange is Win2k and its external
    interface is through our ISA server. The Exchange server
    has external DNS server assignments as provided from our
    ISP. It is also assigned our internal DNS server, which is
    assigned as a secondary DNS server, and which only does
    internal resolution. The ISA server has the same external
    DNS server assignments. Everything works fine for the most
    part, however, on several occasions users get
    undeliverable messages stating the following:
    "The destination server for this recipient could not be
    found in Domain Name Service (DNS). Please verify the
    email address and retry. If that fails, contact your
    administrator."
    After trying to send the same message after a few tries,
    the message finally gets sent successfully (so in all the
    cases it was never a wrong email address).
    Can anyone shed some light on this?
