SUMMARY
It may be necessary to use the X.400 Connector to deliver system messages ONLY (for example, for directory replication, public folder replication, and so on). In such cases, you may want to use other connectors (for example, the Internet Mail Service) to deliver regular user mail. This may become necessary to reduce operation costs because of dedicated lines or the amount of data transferred by the X.400 Connector.
This feature requires that Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 1 is already installed on the server.
MORE INFORMATION
To configure the X.400 Connector as mentioned above:
WARNING: If you use the raw mode of the Exchange Server Administrator program (admin /r) incorrectly, serious problems may occur that may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows NT Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, or both. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that result from using raw mode incorrectly can be solved. Use raw mode at your own risk.
- Start the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program in raw mode by typing the following at a command prompt:
c:\exchsrvr\bin\admin /r
- In raw mode, under Organization, click Site, click Configuration, and click the Connections container.
- In the right window, click the X.400 Connector you want to use to deliver System messages ONLY.
- On the File menu, click Raw Properties.
- Under List attributes of type, click All. Under Object attributes, click Heuristics.
- In the Edit value field, type 8192.
- Click Set, and click OK.
- Stop and re-start the Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent (MTA) service.
- Test it.
Now the X.400 Connector can only send System messages and all other user mail is forced to use the Internet Mail Service.
