Exchange 2003
Hi Having a query. Following is the scenario: 1) We are having a co-existence with 5.5 and 2003.Need to move users from 5.5 to 2003,these are 2 separate exchange organizations, users having mailboxes on both boxes.Mail routing between both boxes is configured via setting contact forwarding.Exmerge will be used to move users from 5.5 to 2003. 2) We hence have 2 SMTP namespaces for every user on each boxes.Mail flow is succesful at both ends.However when mail is sent from Exchange 2003 to the Internet we get the folowing Event ID:7004. This is an SMTP protocol error log for virtual server ID 1, connection #101. The remote host "10.32.x.x", responded to the SMTP command "xexch50" with "505 Authentication required ". The full command sent was "XEXCH50 1020 2 ". This will probably cause the connection to fail. 3) The above 10.32.x.x is my Exchange 5.5 Server.Mail to the internet works from 5.5 to internet, however mail from 2k3 cannot be delivered to the internet. 4) Forwarding is enabled, so all mails have to route from Exchange 2003 through a smart host which is Exchange 5.5 to the Internet. 5) Am i missing something here, or is this an unsupported config, as Exchange 2003 is Authoritative for its Domain, and cannot be configured to send mail via the 5.5 to the Internet.
