Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2005 5:58 pm    Post subject: Can't setup multiple smart hosts Reply with quote

Trying to setup all my servers to forward their externally bound
internet mail to 2 servers so we can better control the mail flow
outbound.

On the SMTP virtual server, if we enter in the smart hosts names or IPs
as follows we get an error saying "The Domain Name Is Not Valid":

FQDN1;FQDN2 or [1.2.3.4];[1.2.3.5]

If we put just 1 of the FQDN or the IP it will accept that, but not
multiples of either. Any ideas why?

Thanks

Don't configure Smarthosts on the SMTP Virtual Server, for starters.

Create an SMTP Connector to do this. Assugn the connector the address space
of "*".

Where exactly do you get the error? If you use [1.2.3.4];[1.2.3.4] it
should allow that just fine.

Ben,

Just tried this - SMTP VS does not accept the [x.x.x.x];[y.y.y.y] notation
for mutliple IP addresses described in KBA 821911. Tried on a Connector - it
accepted. Tried again on SMTP VS - it didn't. Error: This domain name is not
valid.

Same thing for multiple smarthosts on SMTP VS by fqdn - it won't accept with
a semicolon. The Connector does.

Exchange Server 2003 SP2.

The KBA says "Note The smart host setting for SMTP virtual servers is
similar to the smart host setting on SMTP connectors. You can configure
multiple smart hosts on the connector, because connectors can handle message
delivery on a per-domain basis."

.... which probably means SMTP Virtual Servers do not accept multiple
smarthosts, Connectors do.
Never noticed this difference in behavior of SMTP VS and Connectors
before...

What we have is the following:

16 Exchange sites each with their own server. Each server current sends any
external mail directly to the internet. This is NOT what we want. We want
all external destination mail to come to a central point for control and go
out 1 of 2 servers (these servers have the reverse DNS on the internet for
proper SPAM checking).

We thought using the smart host to forward external to these 2 servers woudl
be the best and preferred way to accomplish this?

But as mentioned in another message in here and mine, you can't specify more
than 1 smart host on a VS.

Better accomplished by setting up an SMTP Connector, and you don't even have
to use a SmartHost.

Under the Routing Group, Connectors, create a new SMTP Connector. Specify
the 2 central servers (assuming they are Exchange servers) as Bridgehead
servers. Specify the Address Space as *. Let it use DNS to route mail (it
will work fine). Specify that the scope be Organization.

Once you do this, ALL external mail should route to one of the Bridgehead
servers, which will then use normal methods (DNS) to lookup the remote
destination and send the mail. This is what you are desiring, correct?

Using smarthosts on SMTP virtual servers isn't recommended.

Use Connectors instead - a SMTP Connector with address space * can route
outbound internet mail for entire Org. If outbound mail servers are Exchange
servers, specify them as bridgeheads and use DNS to deliver outbound, else
specify (if using non-Exchange smtp servers) smarthosts on the Connector.

From this it sounds like we'll be able to do multiples on the VS after we get
up to SP2. Good info.

One question on the Entire Organization setting...is that truely the entire
org or only that administration group?

Reason I ask is that we are 4 unique areas (admin groups), and really only
want it to affect my admin group (17 sites/RGs), not all 4 areas.

SMTP Connector settings do not apply to Administrative Groups. Admin groups
are only a security/delegation boundary. They are not a routing boundary.
When you go to the help on that topic, it shows that setting the scope
defines which servers the SMTP Connector will be available to. However,
Cost needs to be taken into account as well. Exchange servers always take
the lowest cost, so they would likely only use the SMTP connector if it was
a lower cost than their normal delivery method.

In your case, I believe that you'll have to create a separate SMTP Connector
for each Routing group, and you will have to use SmartHosts. If this is
indeed the case, then setting the scope to Routing Group shouldn't have any
effect, though you might want to leave it to Organization so that it can be
used as a path if a less expensive path is not available...

Have you considered consolidating Routing Groups? Are all the servers in
these different routing groups in different locations with slow connecttions
between them?
