Hello all,

I was finally able to restore a server. I have Exchange5.5 on a windows 2000 server machine. I did a offline backup(copying dir.edb,priv.edb etc..) transferred to new server. I also had to do Isinteg -patch because exchange wouldnt start at first. After i did that everything was up and running.

I tried sending an email local to local and get an error of
"550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for xxxx@domain.com"

I tried sending an email from my gmail account to an account hosted on my email server and i get a bounce back with the same error.

I made sure in IMS under routing that i have my routing restrictions with my internal IP. Reroute incoming SMTP mail is selected also. Under routing i have my domain name under Send To: and under Route to: i have <inbound>
All these configs are the same on the old server.
But in IMS the Queues section is greyed out on the new server. I can't select anything, can't select awaiting emails. Not sure if that means anything.

If i unplug the new server and plug the old machine back onto the network i can send/receive emails fine. Once i unplug the old one and put the new one back on the network nothing works. I've done reboots, unjoin / join the domain again.

Anyone know what can be causing this?

Thanks
Laura

Make sure you have installed the Internet Mail/Message Service as well to send messages as its not installed by default. You can create it in Exchange Admin under File, New.
