The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0 
- Microsoft Proxy Server version 1.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Proxy Server 1.0 will not allow you to connect two Microsoft Exchange
Server sites with an X.400 Connector or the Internet Mail Service.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Microsoft Proxy Server 1.0 relies on Winsock calls to access ports for outbound
connections. Because the X.400 Connectors and the Internet Mail Service in
Exchange Server are not Winsock-compliant, connecting Exchange Server sites
through Proxy Server does not work and is not supported.

The Readme.txt for Proxy Server 1.0 also states that Proxy Server 1.0 will not
route TCP/IP packets.
