First off, recognize that the IMS just sits there waiting for messages to be handed off to it. That is done by the MTA. The MTA has a list of nine parameters it looks at to determine a route; cost is the last one of the nine and the only one exposed in the UI. The others have to do with link latency, how much mail is already queued up to the other MTA and other under-the-hood stuff.
The MTA is routing the majority of the messages to one because it 'thinks' that's the more efficient way to do it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "NetStar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 7:47 PM Subject: IMC > All the exchange servers(5.5 sp4) are in the same > site.
