Author Email bounce between 2003 and Exchange

I am running on IIS6 on a Windows 2003 Web Edition Server. We also have an
Exchange Server 2000 running on W2K Server.

I thought I was using CDOSYS, but now I am thinking I am not. We have a
site using asp that does not seem to have the problem I am now experiencing.
They are using CDOSYS.

On my site, which is asp.net we are doing something like:

Imports System.Web.Mail

Dim Message As New MailMessage()
message.To = SendTo
message.From = SentFrom
message.Subject = subject
message.Body = strInput
if attachment <> "" then message.Attachments.Add(New
MailAttachment(attachment,MailEncoding.Base64))
message.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = mailServer
smtpMail.Send(message)

mailServer is set to "localhost".

My problem seems to be from aliases set up on the 2000 server.

If I have a user set up as tom@company.com and also a user setup as
tom@website.com with is just an alias to tom@company.com, this causes a
problem if my message.To address above is sent to tom@website.com. If it
gets sent to tom@company.com, there is no problem.

Also, if I send it to tom@website.com from outlook, it works fine.

But if IIS sends it to the alias, I get the following message:
****************************************

A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to
bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients.
Contact your administrator.

What is causing the problem and how do I resolve it?

Thanks,

Actually that problem can also happen with outlook. In our case, we saw
this happening with certain users when they updated the WAN to active
directory.

Well, we are running with AD. But Outlook doesn't seem to have a problem on
our end.

Did you find out how to solve the problem for users that did see that
problem?

Thanks,
