Following a session with Symantec attempting to troubleshoot an exchange agent, we now find that we are unable to send email externally.

The NDR is as follows:
Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:

I have attempted backtracking some of the tasks performed during the Symantec call, but to no avail.

The exchange server is on a Server 2008 64bit platform, and was working fine until today.

I have tried adding an additional smtp connector for the server range, but that had no effect. Nothing I do appears to have an effect and I am stumped.

More info:

This affects ALL domain users, but only for mail goin OUT.

Incoming works fine, and so does internal mail.

During the Symantec call, we made modifications to the following which I have tried to de-apply:
- C: drive root security. Added the Admin user account and attempted to apply full permissions. I removed this afterwards.
- Added the admin user to the local administrators group. I removed this afterwards
- Reinstalled the agent for Backup exec
- Added the telnet feature. I removed this afterwards.
- Modified the windows firewall. I have turned this off for the mean time.

The send connetor is still there.

Steven Wells

Does your server send email to a relay server, or directly to Internet?

Steven Wells

Have you tried running the exchange tools such as message flow troubleshooter?

It routes through the Firewall (ISA 2007)

...i mean ISA 2006

Steven Wells

Have you had a look at event logs on server too? Rebooted?

Try this command from Exchange Shell and post results

I changed the Internet Send Connector to fix this. The Network tab had entries for how it sends mail. It was set to the firewall, and I changed it to "Use DNS MX records" and it fixed it. Thanks for your directing me to the solution Steven.
