XCON: How to Configure X.400 Connector to Send System Messages Only

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 SP1

SUMMARY

It may be necessary to use the X.400 Connector to deliver system messages ONLY (for example, for directory replication, public folder replication, and so on). In such cases, you may want to use other connectors (for example, the Internet Mail Service) to deliver regular user mail. This may become necessary to reduce operation costs because of dedicated lines or the amount of data transferred by the X.400 Connector.

This feature requires that Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 1 is already installed on the server.

MORE INFORMATION

To configure the X.400 Connector as mentioned above:

WARNING: Using the raw mode of the Exchange Server Administrator program (admin /r) incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows NT Server and/or Microsoft Exchange Server.
