XADM: SMTP Proxies are Set to "@site.org.com" by Default (196421)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

This article was previously published under Q196421

SUMMARY

When you use the Microsoft Move Server Wizard the wizard will, by default, generate new SMTP proxies which have a "@site.org.com" format. All the recipients of SMTP addresses are then modified to this format. The newly generated proxy addresses are set as reply address. This may not be the expected result if the server is moved within the same organization.

Changing the site addressing object to what it was before the move (for example, "@org.com"), will not set the proxy addresses as Reply address because the proxy already exists.

MORE INFORMATION

To work around this problem, the administrator should Export recipients and specify the original SMTP proxy "@org.com" as the reply address before reimporting.
