Very Computer

I am having a problem receiving email from one company using MS Exchange.
Since I am not the admin, I can't look at the server myself, but was
wondering if anyone has heard/had this problem and if there was a fix I
could forward to their admin.

I used to have 2 email addresses (work and personal).  I was able to send
and receive mail from the above company with no problems on either service.
However, they only had my personal email address in their address list.
Once I gave them my work address and they put it into their list, they could
only send email to my work address.  Even if they replied to a message from
my personal address, it would send it to the work one.

Well, I have since left that job for greener pastures and now cannot receive
mail from them.  My contact has talked to their admin and he reports
everything as looking okay.  I have setup an account on Hotmail just to get
around this, but it is combersome and I don't always remember to check it.

Any ideas?

I have a similar problem.  My MS-Exchange 5.5 server consistently refuses
to accept mail from a couple domains.

A postmaster from one of the foreign domains suggested that there is a bug
in Exchange which causes it to improperly reject valid addresses with the
"ORCPT" keyword.  Basically he suspected this bug prevents Exchange from
communicating ESMTP correctly.

I know Exchange 5.0 had an ESMTP bug but am not sure about 5.5.

"When initially submitting a message via SMTP, if the ORCPT parameter
is used, it MUST contain the same address as the RCPT TO address
(unlike the RCPT TO address, the ORCPT parameter will be encoded as
xtext)."
