Re: #5.5.0 smtp;500 Line too long
Dear Ed,
It is hard for me to tell you what the users are doing. That is because it is nothing out of the ordinary and there is no real obvious pattern. I don't believe that this is always a FW: or a RE: or a resend of a message. It just happens randomly.
Outlook is configured as a MAPI client connected to Exchanged 2003.
I don't know what else to tell you.
Regards,
Jarryd

Re: #5.5.0 smtp;500 Line too long
Is abc.com an Internet domain to which your users are sending mail? If so, is there any SMTP host or SMTP inspection device (like some of those provided by some firewalls) between your Exchange server and the Internet domain? Is it always the same domain doing the bouncing?

Re: #5.5.0 smtp;500 Line too long
Hi Ed,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. a.b.c is not a real domain. I always try to fudge the real ones cos I am paranoid.
The is s a Watchguard firewall in between us and the internet. Incoming mail is protected by an SMTP proxy on the firewall, and outgoing messages are only protected by a packet filter.
I have looked into this with WG and no real solution.
Anyway, as it looks to be a real needle in a haystack and no-one is complaining about it anymore I'll leave it till it gets serious.
Regards,
Charles
