Philip, My experience with IronPort Support has been top notch, I’d try giving them a shot at helping with your configuration. Even though, of course, when it comes down to it they’re going to tell you they’re not Exchange experts, I’ve found them to be an incredible resource.

Very frustrating.

(e.g. ironport.domain.local -vs- mail.domain.com<http://mail.domain.com>) Have you tried putting the ip address in the smart host settings?

We had a test box in here for a month’s trial about 6 months ago. Boxed it up, never sent it back to Cisco or the vender, and now we’ve purchased it after all. The IronPort still has the configuration on that was working before, although I’ve installed feature keys for RSA DLP, Email Encryption, Anti-spam, Virus Outbreak and Sophos. Problem is I obviously cannot recall how properly to set up the smart host settings on my Exchange connectors and virtual servers. I’ve tried entering the IronPort’s FQDN in the connector and virtual server settings, each separately as well as in both simultaneously. After each attempt I’ve restarted the Exchange Routing Engine and SMTP, but the outbound messages just start accumulating in the ‘queued for deferred delivery’ queue. I’m obviously missing something simple and likely obvious, either on the Exchange or IronPort end, but I cannot figure it out. Any obvious ‘gotcha’s’ that anyone would like to point out that I’m missing, either on the IronPort or Exchange server?
