transport >> Routing

by Dean Meyer » Wed, 21 Jan 2004 05:20:44 GMT

I have a client with a win2k domain and 2 win2k exchange2k
servers - one in each domain.

I administer the subdomain colorado.domain.com. When
someone in the colorado.domain.com domain sends mail to an
outside domain, it goes through the colorado exchange
server, then the parent domain exchange server, then out
to the internet and to the receiving mail server.

How can I configure the colorado exchange server so that
it does not send it's outgoing mail through the parent
domain's exchange server?

Thanks,
Dean

Hi Dean,

This is simple as long as you have Internet Connectivity on that Server.
Just create an SMTP Connector and set the Bridgehead for that connector as
the Colorado Server. If the 2 Server are in the same Exchange Org you will
need to create a second connector and set the Parent Server as the
bridgehead for that connector, this way each Server will handle its own
outbound mail.

1. exchange routes between global IP routing table and VRF routing table

I understand that we can inject the global routes into the VRF routing
table using ip route vrf vrf_name x.x.x.x y.y.y.y next_hop global
command, and vice versa, however, my question is, is there any way to
do it dynamicly (like using dynamic routing protocol)? Since
currently, my customer VRF has a lot of public segment, e.g.
A.x.x.x/8, B.y.y.y/8. They need to access Internet over MPLS VPN link,
but I don't want to take care of every segment manually (using the
static routes with global switch commands).

If there is any way to do it dynamicly, please drop me a line, I
appreciate any input and help.

5. Messages not routed through routing group NEEDED HELP!!!!!!!!!

I found solution already.
The problem was with the SMTP FQDN name. I changed (to solve another 
problem) it on some of the servers and this cause the problem.
As soon as I change it back to the original name, delete the connectors and 
recreate them the mails go trough and the queues become empty.

Hi, Bharat

The sending server does reslove the receiving server's fqdn in the 
absolutely correct address

I have turned smtp logging yesterday and in my next post I'll post the 
comunication between the two servers.

The application log does not log anything meaningfull.
