NO NO NO. Leave that alone.

Wait, do you have one problem or 2? You said when users are not on the
internal network and then send an e-mail through your Exchange server to an
address not on your network, they are getting the 5.7.1. That is one
problem. If you are also saying you have users who receive e-mail on their
internal account, but that e-mail is then forwarded to an external account,
that is a different problem.

Yes, please answer this as that would explain both problems. Is there
anything between Exchange and the Internet? Even a PIX could cause problems
if the SMTP fixup protocol is enabled.
