I Reset the cost of the local site's IMS and everything is now working. So it would appear that when deleting the first server in a site that the MTA on the replacement server requires a restart before it will route internet email properly (or maybe deleting the IMS on that server first wouldn't have caused the problem).

The MTA Work Queue Length was around 2000 with fluctuations up and down. None of the MTA Queues would show anything about 0. Using MTA Connections for the IMC showed 0 in the queue but Queue bytes was very large. Based on this I restarted the MTA and all the email that had been sent since I deleted the server and before putting the workaround into place was re-routed to the IMC in Site2. I will be testing out of hours with the local IMC set back to a cost of 1 whether it will now send email properly. Any ideas as to why these emails weren't showing up in any queue?

Wouldn't it be queued somewhere?
