I have recently had a IT firm install a win-2003 exch server, AD, and sharepoint for us. this post is looking more for advice than and absolute solution. Anyway prior to the changes our IPS was handled by a third party i.e. att/yahoo the questions are prior to the changes e-mails went out and came in without a hitch. We have 8 e-mail addresses associated with one IP address and 4 other addresses associated with a second ip address i e zzzzz@xyz and hjkl@1234. Users at each of the "work stations" had thier outlook confiquired so that they could click the send/recieve and select which account they wanted to send or recieve from which is the way we desired the new system to be. Now the e-mails don't go out at all or are slow or will go out on account but not the other. The IT person has blamed att and thier reluctance to forward smpt out ot recpients The big question is am I being shucked and jived by someeone who is just learning or is this a complicated setup? Thanks for indulging me on my quest to get this resolved its 5 weeks since the e-mails have worked correctly. Cliff
