SYMPTOMS
The MTA routes messages to sites that cannot directly handle these
messages, and must route them back to the original site to be rerouted.
CAUSEThis problem is caused by the replication of address spaces to other sites. Once these addresses have been replicated, each site knows all the routes that another site can take to deliver a message. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces): S E R V P A C K MORE INFORMATION
To keep these address spaces from being replicated to other sites, you must
mark the address space as 'LOCAL' on its originating site.
It is possible to override this local address space on other sites. To do this, create an address space on the connector going to the site that contains the address space you want to use. However, if the connector is a site connector, you will have to mark it as LOCAL again to override the information replicated by the other site (otherwise, the address space is ignored). On X.400 connectors or IMC connectors, you do not have to mark the address space as LOCAL to override it. However, you may want to mark these address spaces as LOCAL to keep them from replicating out again. For example, suppose there are three sites, SiteA, SiteB, and SiteC. SiteA and SiteB are connected by a site connector, and SiteC is connected by a X.400 connector to both SiteA and SiteB. SiteA has the Internet Mail Connector that you have marked the SMTP address space as LOCAL, so it is not replicated to the other sites. If you chose to allow SiteB to use this IMC, you would have to add an SMTP address space to the site connector to allow Internet Mail to go across it from SiteB. However, because this is a site connector, you have to mark this new address space as LOCAL to override the replication coming in from SiteA.
