Mail is not being sent form my Exchange Server.
Users are getting this error:-
---------
Reporting-MTA: dns;mail.xxxxx.com.au

Final-Recipient: rfc822;xxxxx@bigpond.net.au
Action: delayed
Status: 4.4.7
Will-Retry-Until: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 15:27:08 +1000
X-Display-Name: xxxxx@bigpond.net.au

Solution
---------
The SMTP connector on the exchange server was sending all email to mail.bigpond.com
seems like the bigpond system has changed and is not accepting the emails.

Fix was to delete the SMTP connector
and modify the Default SMTP protocol to attempt delivery directly first then send through the ISP if direct delivery fails.
