Exchange Server

Daniel Wedewardt · Guest

Hello!

I hope somebody can help me. Searches over google doesn't help until today.

I have an AD with parent/child organisation. In both domains I have an
Exchange 2003 Server. Both Exchange Servers are within one Administrative
group. The Exchange Server in parent domain (company.local) receives mails
via SMTP from public internetdomain (company.com). All outgoing mails went
over ISP smtp relay host. Every User (in parent an child domain) has mail
adresses like user@company.com and
user@company.local/user@child.company.local. I can send mails between users
in parent and child domain. But users in child domain does not receive mails
from internetdomain (user@company.com). I can see in messagequeue of the
parent domain exchange server, that the mail is queued for transmitting to
the exchange server of the child domain. When i have a look into an smtp log
i see, that the exchange server will try to deliver the outgoing mail
through himself. He stops delivering in case of preventing an mail loop.

Could it bee, that I should add the child exchange server als local
bridgehead in outgoing routinggroup (delivery through relay host not through
dns mx records)?!

many text
hope, somebody can help.

Are the Exchange Servers in parent and child domain in the same Routing
Group as well?
How are they connected? (same LAN / vpn)?
Is user@company.com the primary email address for all parent domain and
child domain recipients?

Thanks for your answer!
-Yes, both Exchange Servers are in the same Routing Group.
-The Exchange Servers are connected through an VPN tunnel - connectivitie is
given and approved. Telnet on port 25 on both sides works fine.
-yes, the mail adress user@company.com is the primary address for all parent
and child domain recipients.
