It looks like its working. I did both an SMTP connector and fwd unresolved hosts in SMTP. I'm not sure which one is doing the workhorse, most likely the SMTP. We aren't accepting any mail on SMTP from the outside, although when I get to corporate tomorrow I'm going to see about creating an smtp connector between the two orgs. Issue is they have about 25 offices nationwide and probably are unable to route mail correctly. We have a vpn to them over a 3 meg pipe that I would much rather use but I can only jump one wall at a time :-)

It just requires a little fiddling. Regards, Michael B.

Im looking at under smtp the forward to unresolved recipients. Im thinking this will not work on internal mail of which Im supposed to be the domain. Im testing it now. _____ From: Tom McCarty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 11:05 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Connect Exchange to non-Exchange The best bet to retain your sanity is the Lotus Notes connector if they really are using that. But you may not have enough rights to set up the other side.... Tom McCarty _____ From: Benjamin Zachary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 10:17 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Connect Exchange to non-Exchange I have a franchised client who right now gets all pop3 mail via outlook. They have exchange 2003 and use it just for internal mail and pop off their company mail. The parent company uses Lotus or Domino or something other than Exchange Im told. I was thinking I could pop off the mail using a pop3 connector, and create an SMTP connector so we use their SMTP for outbound mail so mx/rdns and all matches up. However, what about mail sent to the same domain but the user doesn't exist here. I know on SMTP I could say forward mail for unresolved recipients to their SMTP but that's only going to be for inbound mail correct? I was thinking I could rename my domain so its FL.company.com and then if I could strip that send it back up, so all mail to company.com would be seen as 'external', and of course internal communication would be quick and painless since internally it would all be fl.company.com. ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
