on the dmz smtp server set the remote domain to forward mail to the internal IP ADDRESS of the internal server. don't use hostnames if at all possible.
is the mail still in queue on the dmx smtp server? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 12:30 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: IIS SMTP Server (IIS5) This seems like a dumb question (being that I should know the answer) but here goes. I have a system in which I have the SMTP Server setup. IIS 5.0. W2k SP2 and so forth. The system is behind a firewall in a dmz config situation. I have the SMTP component set to route using DNS for the primary virtual server. However, I want to route stuff destined for my primary domain straight to my internal server. Routing via the firewall is setup. I can telnet to port 25 no problems from the dmz system. Email destined for my domain cannot exit the firewall and come back through the firewall. So I setup a remote domain under the primary smtp virtual server for "mydomain.org". I setup this remote domain to forward all mail to smart host (internal machine) to which I can telnet to port 25 as stated earlier. You will see an entry in the log (event viewer log) for the connection but no mail delivery. Review of the smtp logs seems to show connection but no "To" address. Seems like I'm missing something simple here but rather than bang my head against the wall for a few hours figured I would fetch some ideas from you guys/and gals. Thanks.
