Exch 2000 authoritative/relaying for removed domain

[johndoe88]

I have a SBS 2000 server that was handling mail for 2 domains. I removed the domain2.com about 2 weeks ago, removed from recipient policy, went through all users and removed email addresses with the 2nd domain, went through all public folders and mail disabled them.

I've searched the output of ldifde -f, searched with ldap (proxyAddresses=*2nddomain*), restarted smtp and routing, and rebooted the server.

After doing all of this the sbs 2000 server still insists that it is authoritative for domain2, so when a domain1 exchange user tries to send to a user on domain2 (which is now hosted elsewhere) I get a undeliverable 5.1.1 message saying "The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to."

However the email address exists on another server and works fine when sending to it from anywhere else. I'm at a loss, can't find any references to this domain on the server and am about ready to punt.

Thanks,
John

Are there any MX Records in your internal DNS for the 2nd domain pointing to your internal servers?
