Hello. I have two networks connected via a router with a
different domain on each side. Each network has its own
mail server (one Ex 2003 and the other Ex 5.5). I'm
simply trying to route mail back and forth, internally.
We are not connected to the Internet. Now when using
telnet, I can successfully send mail between the systems.
However, when using the Outlook client, the mail gets
caught in the queue. I did add MX records for each mail
server on its respective server. What else am I missing?
Am I missing additional A records, etc.?
