sending to external users works fine.  There is only one Exchange server
for this organization, no FE/BE or clustering etc.

As an aside: The exchange server is running the MS DNS server integrated
into the Active Directory with a forward zone for the exchange server's
external domain name (exmail.theirdomainname.com).  The main domain's
nameserver is hosted elsewhere (for theirdomainname.com) and is running
on
a non-Windows server and has an "A" record pointing to the exchange
server
(exmail.theordomainname.com), and that NS also has MX records pointing
to
exmail.theirdomainname.com.  I mention all this because it was stuck in
the "Awaiting directory lookup" queue wwhich could possibly be related
to
DNS, but then again, maybe not.  Like I said, restarting DNS server did
not help.

Mike
