Re: SMTP Connector - queued mail between FE/BE

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I have seen a problem at one client site where they changed the SMTP FQDN to
the same name as their external name and mail internally stopped because the
internal server in another routing group were not able to resolve the
external name to an internal IP address. We fixed the problem at that site
by adding the MX1 record tho their DNS (fortunately they used a split brain
DNS).

All of the connectors involved in outbound mail appear to be working (one
unrelated one isn't). The only thing that I've identified is that the
Virtual Server FQDN was changed from the server name to
mx1.ExternalDomainName.com (what it is aliased as externally). Could this
cause a problem when the Back End server tries to send mail to it (after
correctly identifying it in DNS)?

Also, unrelated, I see a section called "Routing groups not found in
Active Directory". Where do they come from and is it worth my time to
adsiedit and delete them?

Try to run the winroute program (can be found on the exchange cd) and see
if the output tells you anything.
