If you are not using POP3 or IMAP4 (with Exchange Server 5.5) clients, Go to
the Internet Mail Service Object in the Exchange Administrator and select
properties and then the Routing Tab.  Turn off SMTP rerouting.

Additional functionality was added with Exchange Server 5.5. You can read
the readme file for detailed information on how to configure the UCE feature
if you have that product.
