Failover SMTP connector in a routing group environment

Good morning all,

I have 2 Exchange servers in my organization, one is 2003 and the other 2000. The offices that house the Exchange servers are geographically separate and are connected by a frame.

We had an issue where the frame went down and I expected email to traverse through the internet once the system realized the frame was no longer available. That did not happen.

When I saw this unexpected behavior, I created a SMTP connector to direct all email to the address space for the outlying office at a higher cost in the hope of solving this problem if the frame went down again. That didn't work.

I have defined the address space (Smart Host [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]) with the bridgehead server defined and reversed the settings on the outlying office Exchange server.

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

Thanks,

Wyz
