Subject: RGC and SMTP Connectors Dilemma!!!
Hi all,
I'm having a slight problem and thought it time to ask the experts!!
I support an Exchange 2000 organisation consisting of 3 routing groups (RG)
connected in a mesh topography by 3 RGC.
RG A is connected to B with a cost of 10. RG A also has a SMTP connector to
an up stream smart host with a cost of 1 ("*" address space). RG A connects
to RG C with a cost of 10 and RG B connects to RG C with a cost of 40.
There are two different company name spaces within this organization. RG A
and C host servers for the 1st name space and RG B for the second (I hope
that makes sense!!)
With the single SMTP connector all works well, external mail is routed out
correctly. My problems start when I try to add an additional SMTP connector
to RG B this time forwarding to a different up steam smart host. Cost and
address space are the same as 1st SMTP connector.
The different companies require that all external mail from RG A and C must
explicitly use the SMTP connector on RG A and external mail from RG B must
explicitly use the new SMTP connector on RG B because outbound mail picks up
a company banner from the smart hosts.
During tests all worked OK but under load in a live environment a proportion
of outbound external mail from the first SMTP connector was routed to the
internet via the 2nd SMTP connector, thus picking up the wrong banner.
Is there anyway under the current structure I can achieve the different
company requirements?????
Many thanks!!!
