SMTP Gateway/Hub |
|
|
I have an Exchange 2003 design which runs 2 clusters, in 2 different offices.
I also have 2 SMTP Gateway servers running as Front-End-Servers at the office
with high-speed Internet access, which accepts inbound messages from the
Internet. Both of these servers are using Network Load Balancing to receive
messages to the Virtual IP and deliver messages to the Back-End servers, as
needed.
What I would like to accomplish, is have both Back-End Servers send messages
out via the SMTP Gateway Servers to the Internet, opposed to delivery by DNS.
Does anyone have an recommendations, tips or links to similar designs?
Thanks,
Richard

If I understand what you want, you want all communications to flow through
the FE servers both in and out?
If so, what you need is a connector. You can specify a connector and then
specify that the two FE servers are responsible hosts for the connector.
That allows Exchange to adjust it's routing accordingly for outbound
traffic.

Yes, that is the goal. Thanks for the reply.
Ironically, I have done that howeve I have NDR's coming back upon attempt to
send messages outbound, to the Internet. (You do not have permission to send
to this recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator.) This
NDR gets generated on the Back End server where my mailbox is located.
Since both by Front End and Back End Servers are part of the same
organization and administrative group, I shouldn't see any relaying issues.
We all authenticate via our workstations/outlook.
My connector looks like this:
- Bridge Servers: SMTP01, SMTP02
- Use DNS for Delivery
- Address Space * cost 1
- Apply to Entire Organization
What are yout thoughts?

I agree you shouldn't see a permissions issue. Can you post the exact NDR?
