Does get-transportagent show the "Recipient Filtering Agent" to be
enabled? And at which position in the array of agents is the recipient
filtering agent? Are there multiple agents doing the same job (e.g.
ForeFront Protection Manager)?

Check the "message delivery" tab on the "Transport Settings" property
page. You'll find that on the "Global Settings" tab of the "Hub
Transport" node in the "Organization Configuration" of the EMC. Or you
can just run "get-transportconfig | fl InternalSMTPServers".

Have you checked the SMTP Receive log on the server? Are the IP
addresses of the sending servers in the "InternalSMTPServers" set of
addresses?

Thank you for your helpful information.

IT management has decided for an antivirus and antispam software upgrade +
Exchange SP2 installation, so we have suspended testing on recipient
filtering until the above are ok.

I'll bring you up to date as soon as I can work on the configuration.

Thank you
MM
