Having trouble getting internal email flowing between Exchange servers when we setup a smart host.
Here's the scenario: A single AD Domain spanning 2 AD Sites. In each location there is at least 1 DC working as a GC server and an Exchange 2000 Server. Replication is working correctly as changes made in one site shows up in the other site. We are trying to forward all email through a Smart Host (Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Security Suite). When we configure the Virtual SMTP Server properties on both servers to forward to the Smart Host, Internet email works just fine but internal email between the servers just sits in the respective outgoing queues. The queues have the name of the other Exchange server so it knows where to send it, but the mail just sits there. We have tried Forcing the connection and Freezing and Unfreezing the queue with no luck. The queue says it is Active (as opposed to Ready), but the mail just sits there. The only way email flows between the two servers is if we bypass the Smart Host altogether. We have tried using local delivery before sending to the Smart Host and not, but either way has not helped. After each change we have stopped and started both the Virtual SMTP server and the SMTP Service. Since the mail is not leaving the Exchange queue, I can't point the issue to Trend as the mail never leaves the Exchange server. Any suggestions? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
