Thanks a milion! &nbsp;Very helpful. &nbsp;The last tab was actually &quot;Delivery&quot; not &quot;Connection&quot; and FYI on 2003 I did NOT have to restart SMTP service for it to take effect, but in Exchange 2000 I had to RESTART the service. &nbsp;Worked like a charm!!!<br />

Again, thanks! &nbsp;My google searches for this answer and my endless clicking on buttons was getting REALLY old!<br />

I was doing it from memory - I knew it was the last tab - should have checked before posting. Same with restarting the service - couldn't remember whether a restart was required. <br />

Glad you have it fixed, don't forget to close the question. <br />

I have followed the best practices by naming my domain, mydomain.local in AD in a 2000 server environment. &nbsp;I have added the mydomain.com in the recipient policies and mail is flowing. &nbsp;My question is how do I get the Exchange server to respond to the &quot;telnet mail.mydomain.com 25&quot; with &quot;220 mail.mydomain.com...&quot; instead of &quot;220 server1.mydomain.local...&quot;<wbr />? &nbsp;I can't find the setting anywhere and <a href="http://www.dnsreports.com" rel="ugc">www.dnsreports.com</a>&nbsp;does note this as an error.<br />

How do I get proper DNS name response from Exchange 2000?
