Hello,

I hope someone can help me with the following:

We use our Exchange Server (sp4) as our primary mail server. We make use of the internet mail service connector and the transfer mode is set to inboud & outbound.

The problem is as follows:

Developers want to send e-mail from an oracle application, they define the e-mail server either by name or by ip-address. The thing isthat they can only send e-mail to members of the Global Address List or to Custom Recipients which are part of the GAL.

As soon as they send it to an external addres for example hotmail etc it doest work as you'll get the famous notification: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

I get the same notification when i log on to the Exchange server by using Telnet and using the default port 25. When i send to the GAL is goes OK External it does not.

But if i send an e-mail from Outlook to an external address it works fine!!! So it has something to do with either SMTP and maybe something extra i don't know. maybe mapi???

In the Route tab, of the Internet Mail service connector we specified Do not reroute incomming SMTP mail. But i am not sure if this causes the problem. It would be to simple :)

One thing is sure, it is not Oracle!! Our Firewall does nothing with relaying of routes etc. So it is somehting in Exchange.

If anyone can help me, it would be great!!!!

Thanks a lot

Regards Ivo
