Patrick
as far as setup goes the setup of the connector is correct
when I do a telnet to port 25 from the exchange box to the
smart host it reaches the smart host and returns the
version name and server name of the smtp running on he
smart host. On the smtp connector do I need to place a
check in Allow messages to be relayed to these domains?
Under the properties of the address space?
