The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you use a Dial-Up Networking connection to connect to a computer running
Exchange Server with DNS enabled, you may receive time-out error messages or a
Non-Delivery Report (NDR).
CAUSE
=====
This issue can occur because the "use DNS" feature located on the Connections
tab of the Exchange Administrator Internet Mail Service properties is designed
to work with full-time Internet connections.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, use the "Forward all messages to host" feature and
specify an ISP relay server.
This allows faster connections since e-mail is forwarded to a closer server and
the Internet service provider (ISP) e-mail server is able to handle DNS queries
that the Exchange server needs.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Small Business Server Internet Connection Wizard does not allow this
configuration. You can change the "use DNS" feature after you complete the
Internet Connection Wizard.
