we have installed a new site in our exchange organization and are trying to connect via smtp. Everything appears fine, connection is established replication begins and after replication progresses, the new site cannot send smtp mail. It tries to send thru the main corporate server and not through its own smtp server. internal e-mail works from site to site but smtp mail out from the new site doesn't work. Have tried changing route costs to no avail, what else???

try to telnet to port 25 of your exchange server then use telnet mail commands to try and send smtp mail, that will tell you if IMS is configured correctly.

I think if you go to the Connections tab of the Internet Mail Service and check the outbound mail routing, you may find your problem.

In the Message Delivery section of that tab, you should have the "forward to" box checked and the name of your SMTP server entered with a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). If this is not properly set up, your local site server will try to send the mail to the main server.

Hope this helps!

Check your IMS. Check to see if DNS is enabled and check to see that rerouting for incoming SMTP traffic is enabled. If you do not check this, the server will look for the internet SMTP address in the Global address list and when it does not find it, you get an NDR.
