Depends on your firewall, 'ne? :-)
If you are sending to archive.fope.microsoft.com (or whatever host), can you open port 25 FROM THE HT SERVERS? I'm guessing the answer is "no". Regards, Michael B.

We have a Send Connector that gets all outbound mail from our HT boxes to our ET boxes (source servers are the HTs address space is * and the smarthost target is the ET) and another send connector that moves it from the ET to the internet (source is ETs and smarthost target is mail.messaging.microsoft.com (we use EHS/FOPE for outbound as well.) If we take away the HT-->ET send connector, mail flow breaks. So the first question is *should* we have to have a Send Connector to move the mail from HT internal to the ET in DMZ segment, or should it move automagically since its all between exchange servers? If we DO need this HT-->ET send connector, then we would need to create the specific connectors the same way every time, I would think. 1 to get @example.com from HT-->ET and another to get @example.com from ET to wherever (maybe a specific smarthost.) If one should not need the send connector to get the mail from HT to ET, what are we doing wrong? (that we've been doing wrong for years...) thanks, bill On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 5:13 PM, Michael B.
