[rt-users] The Exchange Server <-> RT relationship.

[James Satterfield]

Neil,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give this a shot, but I'm a little wary of
the consequences it might bring. This registry setting allows incoming
internet mail to bypass the MTA. As most (if not all) exchange server virus
scanning agents scan at the MTA and not really at the IMC, this could cause
your anti-virus software to be useless when it comes to real time internet
mail scanning.
I can see how this may solve my From: problem, but perhaps at too great a
cost. I'll do a bit of research and testing to see how my virus scanning
theory pans out.

Thanks for the idea. This registry setting hadn't crossed my mind.
James.

We had exactly the same problem, but it was provoked differently.  All
worked happily for us for some time until our IT Dept upgraded our Trend
Scan Mail virus scanner and then our 'via RT' FROM stuff stopped working,
and it all came from the "real" from address.

After much prodding Trend produced the following registry key change which
their software upgrade apparently reset:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\Current Control Set\Services\
MSExchangeIMC\Parameters  :

       Reroute ViaStore key altered from 1 to 0


This may not work for you, but you could try it.  Reboot required.

Neil.
