RE: strange SMTP addresses and domain names

The default recipient policy which governs the auto creation of addresses
uses the domain of AD for the policy. Therefore, since you are using an
e-mail server with an illegal FQDN, you will have to modify the default
policy or create a new one.

FYI, unless you are using a gateway for this server, having a non-traceable
HELO can and will cause problems.
