SUMMARY
=======

When you use the Microsoft Move Server Wizard the wizard will, by default,
generate new SMTP proxies which have a "@site.org.com" format. All the
recipients of SMTP addresses are then modified to this format. The newly
generated proxy addresses are set as reply address. This may not be the expected
result if the server is moved within the same organization.

Changing the site addressing object to what it was before the move (for example,
"@org.com"), will not set the proxy addresses as Reply address because the proxy
already exists.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To work around this problem, the administrator should Export recipients and
specify the original SMTP proxy "@org.com" as the reply address before
reimporting.
