Re: TLS encryption

Yes, mail is always routed out using the Connector (and whatever SMTP
virtual server it uses as a Bridgehead) that has the closest address space
for the recipient. E.g. if you have a Connector for foo.somedomain.net and
somedomain.net, mail for foo.somedomain.net will always be routed over the
Connector for foo.somedomain.net.

Even if the Connector is down, and a Connector with more generic
address-space like * is available, messages will be queued till the
Connector with the more specific address-space becomes available.

Ok, that's what I thought. I have a connector configured with two
specific
address spaces. The connector is configured to utilize a newly created
smtp
virtual server. So you're saying that the client relies on the routing
from
the server config and the server won't try to utilize the default smtp
virtual server and connector since the address space is defined in a
different connector. Basically the mail server is smart enough to
determine
that the mail should utilize the new TLS connector instead of the default
one? Any ideas why I would immediately get a smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable to
relay
when sending the E-mail?

Thanks

including presence of Connectors for specific address spaces (domains).

I'm currently running Exchange 2003 sp2. I'm in the process of
configuring
an smtp virtual server for specific domains for TLS encryption. I've
configured the virtual server and connector and wasn't sure if there
was
anything else needed (E-mail policy, etc...). How does an Outlook
client
know that it needs to route mail through the new smtp virtual server
instead
of the default. I'm currently getting undeliverable bounceback
messages
to
the specific domain name with the error of smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable to
relay

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
