Just tried using our Exchange server as the SMTP
server for a MailHost (which works just fine with the
other two 'real' SMTP servers I have access to, and
sure enough, the mail never arrived.

Looks like a real MS feature -- anyone else?

BTW, the Exchange server works OK as an SMTP
host from Outlook Express, which is the only
'standards-based' mail client I've got on this machine.

Don't think so, because I'm not authenticating when I use Outlook Express to
send
SMTP mail via the Exchange server -- I am on the same network though, but
then
so is Chas's client's machine.
