I made the update and still got the following message
---------------------------
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
alex@test.com on 10/7/2003 3:03 PM
There was a SMTP communication problem with the
recipient's email server. Please contact your system administrator.
<mycompany.com #5.5.0 smtp;553 mail rejected due to
excessive spam (xxx.xx.xx.x)>
--------------------------------------
(xxx.xx.xx.x) is the IP address of the SBS server
Still no luck
