I was able to send an e-mail through Telnet to the Exchange 2003 Legacy system, so then I started to think maybe AV or something else going on. Disabled McAfee from Exchange 2010 server and I was able to send an e-mail from client on Exchange 2010 server to client on Exchange 2003 server. Now trying to get with our parent company IT dept to make sure they have the proper exclusions in so this does not happen again. Thanks for your help. Your suggestions are always appreciated.

Now I created the send connector on Exchange 2010 and chose custom. Here are the other options that I selected as well. For some reason it is still getting hung up in the queue on the 2010 server and never delivers the message to someone on Exchange 2003 server. Address Space SMTP= domain name of the Exchange 2003 server (example.com) Route Mail through the following smart host (IP address of the Exchange 2003 server) Did not choose use DNS records to route mail ________________________________ From: Michael B.

Don't put an IP address on default SMTP VS on the 2003 side. Create an SMTP connector their too. If you put the IP address on the VS, you'll eventually get authentication errors that won't make sense. :-P Regards, Michael B.

I know on the Exchange 2010 side, I need to create a Send Connector that routes mail back through the legacy Exchange 2003 forest until all of the mailboxes of that forest is moved over. What option do I need to choose for the Send Connector on the 2010 side for the intended use? Would it be Custom, Internal or Partner? I am leading towards partner, but I can't get it to work. I have entered the IP address of the HT server in the resource forest on the Default SMTP Virtual Server for Exchange 2003.
