Incoming email undeliverable to *@adsi.dat

Hi all,

BIG email problem here. Hope someone can point us in the
right direction.

SBS2K - Win XP Pro client laptop running OL2K3
Originally running in Cached Exchange Mode
Stopped receiving new mail [could see it using OWA]
Had to stop using Cached Exchange Mode and thereby
prevented from using Junk Mail Filter
Returned from week's annual leave to find 1500 emails!

So, did the following to try to work around it:

Manually copied the entire contents of my mailbox [about
360Mb] to a PST file
Logged off network
Deleted my user and Exchange mailbox from the SBS Server
Created a new user with same logon, name and password
Logged back onto network [created new profile but that's
a far lesser issue]
Created new mail profile for Outlook connecting to new
[and clean] Exchange mailbox - fine so far [and now
working again using Cached Exchange Mode]
Manually copied items back from PST file to new mailbox -
again, fine so far

However, although internal emails work fine, incoming
mail from external sources is being received by our SBS
box but being noted as being Undeliverable with an error
as noted below:

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
8b46051eb5ed59478f58df66d30d42a5@adsi.dat

The destination server for this recipient could not be
found in Domain Name Service (DNS)

HELP!

I assume this is because 'something' in either Exchange,
Active Directory and/or DNS is 'looking' for the old
mailbox and not finding it but how do we get things
resolved from this point on?

Thanks very much in advance,



David

Very bizarrely, I tried the long-shot of adding
this 'address' as an email alias of my user and I am now
receiving incoming mail as I should...

Weird or what?


David

did you go to email addresses under your AD Users and Computers > Your
Account and did you have both your local and "real" email address there??

Hi Cris,

Yup - absolutely everything in AD User config looks exactly as it should
do - double-checked against other non-changed users and nothing strange
whatsoever. Like I say, think it was getting confused and looking for the
'old' user for some reason...

Anyway, mail is coming in OK now so that's the major worry out of the way.

Regards,



David
