I have two servers, SERVER_A and SERVER_B. SERVER_A is connected to the internet, SERVER_B is connected to SITE_A (in active directory) through a dedicated VPN link...

What I am trying to do is, route ALL outgoing(smtp) mail from SERVER_A to SERVER_B, and have SERVER_B send it out to the internet, also, when SERVER_B recieves mail destained for users who's mailbox reside on SERVER_A, route that mail to SERVER_A....I've created 2 routing groups, and setup a routing group connector from SERVER_A to SERVER_B in Routing Group A and vis versa...However, this doesn't seem to be forwarded mail...does anyone have any idea's or tips? The reason for this configuration is the ISP currently has port 25 blocked at SERVER_B's location, so we created a dedicated VPN link to SITE A where SERVER_A lives....That is why we need SERVER_A to handle all outgoing and incoming smtp requests....
Thanks,

A good place to start would be to TELNET to port 25 from each server to the other. Network Address Translation may also be an issue.

Thanks, finally figured out the problem yesterday, your correct by the way, NAT on the router already had a static entry in it's NAT table mapping to the ip on the server. I created another Virtual SMTP Server and added another IP, things work smoothly now.
Thanks for your reply btw,
