1. I am still fighting to get mail destined for @aol.com to go out. Do you all have your backend mail servers responding to pings for reverse lookup? I thought that goes against having a secure backend server. 2. In System Managers under administrative groups/site/routing groups/group/connectors/ I have 4 connectors a. internet mail service b. ms mail connector c. Connector for cc:mail d. dirSync Request OldMail If all my reading and a so called upgrade class is correct, I shouldn't need to recreate any of these connectors for mail to flow in and out of the organization. Am I correct in this train of thought? Thanks in advance. Mike
