Thank you very much. I mean... it's not that bad, I just need to put the
flash drive back and force once in a while so all the incoming e-mails get
transferred to the internal NW and outgoing gets to the internet...

I'm trying to follow up on your advice - I have downloaded Microsoft Virtual
Server 2005 R2 and have created a Virtual Machine with a virtual disk and
virtual NW addapter connected to that. It says that it is running now. ...
but now what?

I went to Exchange server and have created the Internet Mail SMTP connector
by Internet Mail Wizard. It appeared in Administrative Gourps/First
Administrative Group/Routing Groups/First Routing Group/Connectors. I got an
idea to route all the outgoing mail to my old Mercury server and I did set
"Send all mail trhough this connector to following smart host: <local NW
adress of the computer where the Mercury is>" but that didn't work, the mail
still get stuck in Exchange Queues saying "can't find any DNS server". I
thought that would be a good sulition to route all the out-going e-mails to
that Mercury server from the Exchange but I didn't make it.

Do you have a valid DNS server defined in the network properties of
the Exch Server so it can resolve the ip address of the mercury
server?


Do I need to create a mail server on that Virtual Machine? Can I just route
all the out-going mail from Exchange to that old Mercury server directly
somehow, as then I would know what to do.

Hello,
I'm upgrading our corporate NW to Sharepoint Server system and also want to
change my Mail Mercury server to the Exchange. But in order to do that I need
to resolve a certain problem. For certain reasons our internal corporate NW
and Internet NW is not connected togather and we use them separatly. Before,
in order to send an e-mail outside I was using a special script. When one
sends an e-mail inside the corporate NW, it gets routed automatically by the
mail server, but if one sends an e-mail outside, in my case with Mercury mail
server all those e-mail for outside was getting stuck in the Queue folder and
I have a special script that automatically copies those to a flash drive in
MSG format, then I take the flash drive, insert into the Internet computer
and another script send those e-mails out. I would need to keep the same
system but where can I find in the Exchange system those e-mails which
supposed to go out? I.e. if one sends an e-mail to an external address
(outside the corporate NW) and there is no Internet, where does it go or
where does it sit in the exchange server system? and whether or not it is in
MSG format?
... I'm just trying to get any clue how I need to adjust my script so it can
collect all those e-mails for outside...


Wow. Sorry to hear. Sounds pretty goofy.
I guess if you want to continue this process, the easiest way to
accomplish this is to create an Internet send connector ( Im assuming
Exch 2007), that smarthosts everything destined to the Internet to an
internal SMTP gateway. ( A vm server with IIS/SMTP on it would
suffice) This gateway wont have have any internet connectivity, so
everything will queue in the SMTP queue directory in eml format.

How do you handle inbound mail from the internet?
