Hello! I recently upgraded my Exchange 5.5 to 2003 by joining existing site
of the 5.5. Since then I moved all my mailboxes to 2003. My 5.5 is still
in place and all external mail is still being routed to 5.5. Here is what i
think is a problem that I noticed recently. When I send out mail to
multiple external recipients, and then I go to the message tracking center
in 2003, I can see that the email is being transfered from 2003 SMTP to 5.5
MTA for delivery. Why does this happen? Shouldn't the 2003 SMPT make the
delivery itself? Please advise.
Thank You

The Exchange 2003 server is finding the IMC on the 5.5 server as the
Internet Mail Sender.
You need to create an SMTP connector on your Exchange 2003 server to send
mail out to the Internet. You can either follow this kb
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;265293, or you can
run the Internet Connectivity wizard on the Exchange 2003 Sp1 Server.
Right Click on the Organization Icon in Exchange 2003 System Manager, and
you will see an Internet Mail Wizard. Follow this wizard to setup your
Internet mail flow.

I thought that SMTP is automatically configured with all 2003 Servers?
