Default How to disable x400 and send using smtp

See, that's what's weird - all the posts I see pertaining to a 290 in the
Event Log have to do with an upgrade from 5.5. But we've NEVER used 5.5 -
this is a totally clean 2003 install. I'm so confused!

Are you still using Ex5.5 in the organization or upgraded from it?

OK, I'll put it back, but that doesn't solve the original issue at all -
anytime I try to send an EvenID 290 is thrown. That's the root cause -
ideas?

why did you remove it? it's required for exchange to work.

Hi -
I'm trying to get (what I thought was) as very simple new Exchange
installation going. I'm testing using OWA, but whenever I attempt to
send
a
message, an Event ID 290 is thrown, which indicates that it is trying
to
use
x400 to send the message. This is quite strange to me, since in the
Active
Directory definition of the sending user, there is only an smtp email
address
(it did originally contain an x400 address, but I've since removed it).
The
smtp service is running on the exchange server.

Can some wise, kind soul instruct me how to get Exchange to send
using
smtp instead of attempting to use x400?

Many thanks!

Did you ever use 5.5 on the network? I think if you do any type of
migration, short of a totally new network/AD, it knows 5.5 used to exist
there.

Otherwise, check with the exchange newsgroups - the regulars there are more
familiar with the nuts and bolts on the backend.
