Hi there,



I'm having outbound SMTP communication problems with a few select external

Exchange email servers. When my Exchange server tries to pass an email via

SMTP to these external companies I get an error message "421 5.5.2 syntax

commandline too long". My Exchange server is Ex 2k SP3.  This also happened

with another company a couple of weeks ago, they uninstalled their ISA and

suddenly it started working again, Not sure if it's a coincidence. The

company I'm currently having difficulties sending emails to, say they are

using ISA as well as a Gateway MailFilterer product. Plse help - here are the

SMTP logs.
