RE: SMTP Connectors (mixed site)
Here's what I normally do. Setup the SMTP Connector with an address space of something like hotmail.com, leaving the IMS address space at *. Then send some test messages to Hotmail and make sure they're delivered; Hotmail messages will traverse the SMTP Connector, the rest of the messages will go via the IMS. Then raise the cost of the IMS address space cost to something like 10, and change the SMTP Connector address space cost to 1. *All* outbound mail will now flow via the SMTP Connector. Then it's just a case of changing your inbound route, which depends on what you've got, e.g. changing your upstream SMTP host to talk to the new E2k server, or perhaps modifying your MX records, etc. Neil -Original Message- From: Jimmy Dejesus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: 07 January 2002 22:01 Posted To: Sunbelt Exchange List Conversation: SMTP Connectors (mixed site) Subject: SMTP Connectors (mixed site) Hi there, here is the deal: We have exchange 5.5 server in an exchange 5.5 site.

RE: SMTP Connectors (mixed site)
Why do you have a smart-host entry on the virtual server? Do you have an upstream SMTP host that sends/receives from the Internet? E.g. MailSweeper, etc? If you do, put this IP address into the SMTP Connector, as the value here overrides the value in the virtual server.

RE: SMTP Connectors (mixed site)
Or maybe the site replication service or X400 ?? I noticed that it created two recipient policies in exchange 2000. I wonder what is causing the miscommunication between the two servers? Are there any areas I should check into? No, a smarthost isn't needed to send mail locally. You've another problem lurking there. It was just that I've always put the smarthost IP address (for external mail) on the SMTP Connector and not on the VS.
