Old
Sometimes tinkering with old stuff is fun. Mixing it with new stuff could be funnier. Hardware wise, but also software wise.
Now, it’s a Windows 2000 Server with Exchange 2000. SMTP part works good, with normal e-mail clients. Outlook 2003 though will send mail through Exchange, and drop it in the sent items (as it should), then the Exchange picks it up, sends the mail. But on the outbound connection, it only sends EHLO and then QUIT (maybe a few RESET’s inbetween), with no real data exchanged (the pun !). This will leave the user to think everything is okay, and even a system administrator would think it’s okay, as no real error occurs. Don’t you just love illogical unpredictable stuff ? Well, off to patch the whole thing up, even though I know I’m not even going to use it.
