933.0. "X400 site connector troubleshooting" by WOTVAX::WILLIAMSM (Born to grep) Thu Mar 13 1997 16:17

    Please forgive me if this is answered somewhere else, I have tried the
    usual DIR/TITLE stuff without success, I'v rumbled through technet and
    the MS documentation without help:
    
    I am trying to join two exchange sites together, each with only one
    machine in the site using the X400 site connector.  One alpha and one
    intel box both running exchange 4sp3.  I can't get it to work.  Mail
    isn't carried by X400 either, it just sits in the MTA queue for ever.
    
    I've worked through the technet example "Volcano coffee" and I
    struggle.  Just when things get tricky it throws in "type in the remote
    MTA name."  Which MTA is the memote one?  How do I find out what it is
    called and how can I test individual bits of the problem?
    
    Could it be, that my two servers are in different sites but have the
    same name?
    
    How should the X400 addresses in the queue look?  The O field seems to
    change, I don't want to give more details about this incase its just me
    not understanding.
    
    All troubleshooting hints greatfully recieved.

Hi,

	To find the local MTA name of a machine, select the Server in question 
	in the Exchange Admin utility, open the MTA instance.  On the first
	tab, there should be displayed the local MTA name.  This is the name
	that should be specified on other Exchange servers that wish to connect
	as the remote MTA name, i.e.

		Machine A			Machine B
		Local MTA - A			Local MTA - B
		Remote MTA - B			Remote MTA - A
		
	The Local MTA names are by default the machine name.  You can use
	different MTA names by using the over-ride tab in the X.400 connector
	but that is another story.

Nige.
