Had a similar issue - 2 x owa servers 3 x e2k3 mbx servers transitioning to 2 x CAS/Hub 3 x E2K7 MBX - Email between 2003 and 2007 no problems, email to external from 2k7 sitting in queues on existing 2k3 servers.

Why on earth wouldn't you want to create a Send-Connector? ________________________________ From: John Bowles [john.bow...@wlkmmas.org] Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 8:07 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: E2K7/E2K3 Coexistence Question All- Scenario: (2007) 2 CAS/HUB Transport Servers, 1 MBX server| (2003) 2 FE Servers, 1 BE Server(BH Server) (We left the SMTP connectors still up and running on E2K3 to handle internet mail transmission. So we haven't installed a Send Connector on E2K7 yet) I had a customer that was migrating from E2K3 to E2K7. We established the first Hub Transport server into the Exchange org and identified the BH server for E2K3. After we did that we created a mailbox to test mail routing. We could send and receive email from 2007 to 2003 and vice versa internally. E2K3 mailboxes could send and recieve internet email. E2K7 test mailbox could receive internet email but couldn't send email outbound to the internet. It would just queue up at that HUB server and wouldn't cross over the RGC connector. Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but if I had a test mailbox on E2K7 and our SMTP connector was located on an E2K3 server.. shouldn't email bound for the internet pass thru the RGC connector between 2K7 and 2K3?
