That's correct. Here is how you should remember it: - If the Exchange 2000 system is the authoritative system for the domain, and if an incoming recipient doesn't exist in Exchange 2000, it should be NDR'd, then: put the domain into a recipient policy and check the box that says "This Exchange organization is responsible for mail to this domain".
- If the Exchange 2000 system is NOT authoritative for the domain, so when an incoming recipinet doesn't exist in the Exchange 2000 directory, you want it to be forwarded off to some other system (e.g., a legacy UNIX or Notes system), then: (1) create an SMTP connector, (2) set the address space to SMTP:THEDOMAIN.COM, (3) set the smarthost to the FQDN of a host that accepts SMTP mail for that system, and (4) check the box on the Address Spaces tab that says "Accept inbound relay for these domain". If you have a group of domains that all go to the same internal host, you can group all of those domains on the same connector. The second case above is one of the two(*) cases that you configure anything about inbound mail with an SMTP connector, in all common situations, SMTP connectors are only needed to configure outbound mail. (*) the other case is where you want to accept mail and queue it for triggered delivery, and this is very rarely used -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Mynhier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2002 5:48 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Smtp connector gone mad? That's still not a reason for using an SMTP connector. E2k doesn't need an SMTP connector for sending an receiving internet mail regardless of the number of internet domain names being hosted. SMTP Virtual Server handles the transport Recipient policies handle the multiple domains -----Original Message----- From: Leo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Friday, May 17, 2002 4:47 AM Posted To: Exchange Discussion List Conversation: Smtp connector gone mad?
