1) The paper does not specifically cover the SMTP settings in Exchange 2003
2) The paper does not provide any solution to the fact that exchange is
useless at recipient verification and just accepts everything then
bounces later. I saw an article on the list only a few days ago about
using Active Directory loookups in a router to do this.
3) Anything else it didn't cover in your scenario.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks

P.S. I think you should write the backup/restore paper anyway, lots of
people need it.
(but please re-consider the possibility that an email containing random
chars or no chars in place of the original message can still pass
consistency checks, backup tests and de-fragmentation. As far as I know
nothing actually "reads" the content of messages to see if a human can
understand them)
