kilfarsnar, If it's a "work around" then so be it. I believe I'll be happy. I did say that but also followed it with a very important point "A Solution is preferable to a work around"

kilfarsnar I still need somebody to give me a bit more info on the implementation. If it's a "work around" then so be it. I believe I'll be happy. Hope that made sense.

Hi GP8 (Well done) I was about to email something on the MX records but haven't had a chance to read up on how it all works. So any chance of a more detailed explaination on what I would need to do. How do I do this change. Is it a big one that could stuff things up or easy. Remember I am not...

I know how to stop it manually using services. However, I want to set it up to stop/start at specific times ie during backup "Late at night when I am not there". I believe the AT command can be used "If I knew which command line service to stop". Hope that makes sense. Regards

Thanks for the response The Antivirus software is ok. It is the Exchange componant I want to stop You Wrote: Look at your services.msc. It is NT Server 4. In the Services menu, it does not show me the path to the application. I am also unsure of the DOS Commands to stop the Exchange AV...

Does anybody know the AT commands for stopping the Exchange componant for Nortons Corporate Edition for Exchange. I need to disable the Exchange Realtime protection during backup and don't want to do this manually everyday. Norton AntiVirus Corp Edition 7.6 Norton AntiVirus 2.11 for Microsoft...

Agreed, it is a real headache this error. I am mentioning the below as a revision of the problem. I don't believe Firewalls are a problem here due to my testing. But I'm not the expert. My Scanario: All tests are done on the Exchange 5.5 Server (NT4 SP6). Test 1: Email will send without...

Thanks, I am never keen on installing service packs that don't relate to a specific issue. In this case neither look as though they do. I read up on both and feel you are right to say M$ are shooting in the dark. That's not unusual, it is luck of the draw what Tech Person you get on the other...

kilfarsnar, Did the updates work for you?

kilfarsnar; This particular issue has me very interested but yet without an answer. I have done interesting and some very intensive tests with the help of some Gurus and "Host Unreachabe" still STANDS OUT and unresolved. I have learnt a lot in the process "all for free" SMTP Protocol Log: So...

Kilfarsnar. I can only say, Mmmmmmmmm, interesting that you did a fresh install and still have the same issue. This has me thinking along a different line now. Several of my clients running simular if not identical types of Servers and software. Only ONE has the problem. I'll let you know the...

Kilfarsnar When I switched on the Exchange Event logs on, It just created entries in the NT Event Log. It didn't report anything that I didn't already know. The error message that I wrote in my last reply came from the Exchanges /IMCData/Log/. Unsure if that is what you mean. Has anybody set...

Hi Fairbankstech. Now that was interesting idea and I expect along the right lines. I tried it myself but it didn't work for me. I still get Host unreachable. It did prompt me to look at the logs and noticed the failure result which seems to be the failed Domain not accepting the "HELO"...

I have seen this happen. Just trying to remember the cause and I'm sure it came down to not having both set up on Outlook Express ie LAN and External address. One over rides the other causing a loop. Have a think about it as I can't exactly remember. It was a while ago. It made obvious sense...

Hi Kilfarsnar For the sake of Anythings possible, I did a test and disabled all the Veritas Backup Exec Services and also Nortons Virus protection Services. It made no difference. I still get a "host Unreachable" message. One day somebody is going to come up with the silliest solution and we...
