Hey gang I am trying to figure something out in exchange 2003. We currently
rout all our mail through our internet mail connector and then on to our
smart host at MXLOGIC for spam filtering. Howerver...my company has
partnered with another company and a internal wan has been put in place. How
can I set up a connector to rout mail to thier domain while sending all other
mail to the internet? is this even possable? ways I have tried so far is a
smart host rout to their IP in the smart host...and setting it to send to
thier DOMAIN at a higher cost but when I am doing that its failing...

What am I doing wrong? please help if you can ...and forgive me if this is
simple I am still learning exchange...

- Remove any smarthosts from SMTP virtual server properties
- For mail to internet, create a SMTP Connector for address space *, insert
the smarthost at MXLOGIC (btw, are you routing outbound also through them?)
- For mail to your partner company, create a new SMTP Connector, add their
domain in the address space tab, insert their mail server fqdn or IP address
as smarthost.
- Make sure you have SMTP connectivity to their mail host.
- If using IP address, it should be enclosed in square brackets, e.g.
[1.2.3.4]
- Cost only matters if you have two or more Connectors for the same address
space. In this case, you have a more specific Connector for their address
space, which will be used to deliver mail to their domain.
