Sent to the gateway? What is the routing topology check showing (what is that, winroute.exe?)? Are there any other apps installed on the machines? Any firewalls? I know you said that you could connect via TCP 25 and send a message. Did you check that from each machine? http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/library/extransro ut.mspx Al -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff (Lists) [mailto:johnlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2004 2:50 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Connecting Exchange servers http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have set the associated Exchange items to Maximum for both servers. The only errors I see are 9302 and 9307 from category MSExchangeMTA and I have researched that and it said to run mtacheck /rd /rp and that reported no errors. I think the following is related to a test I sent from tester2 on exchange to tester1 on exchange1 at 2:39 PM EST: Event Type: Information Event Source: MSExchangeTransport Event Category: Routing Engine/Service Event ID: 984 Date: 12/23/2004 Time: 2:39:34 PM User: N/A Computer: EXCHANGE Description: SMTP GetNextHop returned hr=0x0 in 0ms. DestAddr=<exchange1.domain.com>, Type=<SMTP> MsgType=0x15, NextHopType=SAME_ROUTING_GROUP Type=<SMTP>, Class=<>, SchedId=0xffffffff RouteAddr=<exchange1.domain.com> Connector=<DNS> That is the only unique event I could see. If some one could inturpet that for me, or what else do I need to look for? Viewing the message tracking, after it is sent to the categorizer, the next line is "SMTP: Started Outbound Transfer of Message" and then it is sent to the gateway server.
