So far, this isn't anything I don't know.

As to the rest,

1. This isn't a Navigator shop.
2. Pulling out the mail router name is a trivial enough 
exercise from CHGSMTPA. But with no mail router at all, 
how in the @#%$#$! is the outgoing message going to find 
its way to its first hop, much less all the way to its 
intended recipient? (For that matter, I've been poring 
over the Microsloth Exchange System Manager, trying to 
find out how IT gets email out into the rest of the world, 
without much success.
3. That still doesn't explain the bizarre bounce message 
that comes out when our JavaMail application tries to send 
to an outside address. Why would the bounce message be 
purportedly coming FROM the origin point TO the mail 
server it's trying to route through?
