Steve,

I verified that the application pool account has full permissions in AD for
that OU. Do you think it matters that I am using NTLM instead of Kerberos for
authentication?(I am grasping at straws at this point) I don't seem to have
any trouble creating object in the OU directly using the AD management
console running as the app pool user. Any thoughts on why MOSS does not seem
to be able to create the contact in AD?

The problem is not that you are using NTLM. I think you are in the
wrong place. Go to Central administration > Operations > In comming
email setting. Click enable then go to Incoming E-Mail Server Display
Address add the domain name at the end in your case that would be
Exenon.local. That was the easy part.

Depending you your DNS and Exchange infrastructure you will need to add
an MX record to dns to point to this server. Or configure routing in
exchange to forward SMTP email to this server.

Jerry,

Thank you for the ideas, but the problem appears to be at the AD/SharePoint
level. The incoming email server display is set to the fully qualified domain
for the organization and the DNS setup is fine. I have even made it the point
where i can worry about email routing because the contact or distribution
list creating is erroring out when SharePoint tries to create them in the OU
when email enabling the list.

Do you have email enabled lists working in MOSS B2? If so, may I inquire on
how you setup permissions in AD and for what user you set them up for? I have
repeated this same problem on fresh development sandbox using just the
instructions from www.combined-knowledge.com.

Thanks for the response,
Mat

No I do not have that setup. I will take a look at it today and see
what I can come up with.

This maybe nothing but you are missing a comma
