Exchange and Sendmail screw-up

[colemanrob]

I am migrating Sendmail to Exchange 2003. I have set up Exchange as per Microsoft Article 321721 and have been able to send mail between exchange users as well as receive mail from the Sendmail system..

I cannot send to the Sendmail system or to the Internet (Sendmail is acting as a gateway). All messages outgoing to a user who does not have a mailbox on the Exchange system sit in the 'Waiting for Directory Lookup' queue forever.

DNS seems to be set up properly, NSlookup works as expected etc. I have a SMTP connector with smarthost configured with the IP of the Sendmail system.

Exchange 2003 is on a W2K member server with a W2k DC running in Native mode on another box. These are on a test lan and I have configured the router to allow access from the Sendmail system for testing. The router logs indicate that no traffic is leaving the Exchange server for outgoing to Sendmail.....that is, the router is not stopping or detecting any traffic.

Any ideas....?

Any information might be useful....I am up against a wall on this...as usual it was supposed to be done a week ago and they're running out of budget.

Thanks

Rob
