Re: Routing emails

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

If you don't have an SMTP Connector for general SMTP mail, create one with address space "*" (without the quotes) and configure that mail to route the way you want it to route, i.e., via ISP smart host, DMZ SMTP routing server, or no smart host and instead using DNS as your preference or necessity.

Then create another SMTP Connector and put the particular domain in as the addres space, and configure the destination SMTP server's IP address as the smart host. Of course, your network must be configured so that this SMTP server's IP address routes over your internal link. The more specific address space's connector will take precedence over the general connector for messages that match the address space, so mail to the particular domain will go to the SMTP server in that connector and everything else will go out via the general connector.

Make sense?

Hi all,

What I am needing to do is to route email to a particular domain via
an internal link to another site rather that is going thru the
internet.

Hopefully the background to all of this will also help to clarify my
request.

We recently merged with another organisation and have had a fibre link
put in between the two sites. Our email domain changed from abc.com
(org1) and zyx.com (org2) to become abczyx.com. We are still running
2 separate domains at the moment as we will be moving to the same
location in a few months. Consequently we are also running our
separate Exchange servers but to look unified we all have the
abczyx.com email addresses. Org1 host abczyx.com. Our server at org2
is still zyx.com and emails sent to us...@xxxxxxxxxx will then be
forwarded from Org1 to us...@xxxxxxx – org2. All default email
addresses at both sites are n...@xxxxxxxxxxx As I stated earlier I am
wanting to find out how to send emails at the zyx.com exchange server
to @abczyx.com directly to their exchange server at the other location
thru our fibre link rather than thru the internet. I am assuming I
need to set up a Connector but would love to have some expert advice
before creating something that may impact on outgoing emails.

Many thanks... Stephen
