E-mail timeouts
Recently a client of mine started having some e-mail issues. The e-mail had been working just fine until I just added some new users onto there Small Business Server. The funny issue is that only one person ( the Main Guy of Course) is having issues. Here is the setup information:
We are running Small Business Server with Exchange. However we do not host the e-mail. We only use exchange to share contacts and share Calendars. The mail is sent via a SMTP connection and retrieved via a pop connection. They do use outlook 2003. There are two e-mail account, one being the exchange server and the default one being there pop account.
The computer is question is a Laptop running vista and office 2003.
He had been running just fine till a recent trip and now he continually gets timed out errors from clients and the Exchange server appears, even though it is not the default.
Here are the messages:

All these messages are sent to different domain addresses yet they are the same error. What might be causing this?

ok, it seems to have fixed the issue, however I have one user who has contact cards of people within the network that seems to use the X400 address to try to send e-mail. Everytime I delete and try to type in their e-mail address it gives them a x400 address instead of the real address. Any thoughts?
That is a separate question.
All mail enabled objects have email addresses given to them by the Recipient Update Servers, which references the Recipient Policy - change the recipient policy and you will change the email addresses automatically given.

Fix it like this, and get him to resend the mail that didn't go -> http://www.slipstick.com/problems/defaultacct.htm
