Exchange SBS server Invalid Address and Unable to Relay problems

Hi dear experts,

I have a problem....I've got an sbs exchange server, it's hosting 2 domains, say, domain.com and domain.net. I've created a recipient policy, and all users have an email address like user@domain.com as primary, and another users@domain.net listed nicely in active directory.

Now when I telnet to this exchange server I get this:

helo
250 sbssrv01.rover.local Hello [77.61.150.9]
mail from: mymail@mydomain.nl
250 2.1.0 mymail@mydomain.nl....Sender OK
rcpt to: user@domain.net
500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command
rcpt to: user@domain.net
501 5.5.4 Invalid Address
rcpt to: user@domain.com
550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for user@domain.com

It seems the server doesn't really seem to know what error it wants to dish out...lol. Anyone got any idea? Any extra info needed?

It seems that the information is not updated in metabase. Try adding a dummy recipient policy and remove it back again . And then try restarting the system attendant service and check . This is force to update the metabase.

are you sure that's also necessary when the event log DOES state that the metabase was updated?

mostly cuz it's not my server and it'll take a week or so to get that done ;-)
