Configure front-end as the Smart Host in the SMTP properties of Back-end. Now all the e-mails, from back-end will be forwarded to front-end for all the external domains. Chand -----Original Message----- From: Mustafa Cicek [mailto:mbcicek@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 4:23 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Problem: SMTP traffic is possible only through back-end Exchange http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi! We deployed Exchange 2003 (front-end and back-end). Our front-end Exchange is also Exchnage proxy server (for RPC over HTTPS). We use connector (DNS option) and defined only and only front-end Exchange as Bridgehead server in the Exchange organization. Front-End is responsible for all SMTP traffic. We have the problem that not front-end Exchange, but back-end exchnage tries to send mails to external domains. If we send mails to external domains we found out that only back-end Exchange has these mails in its queue. It worked all well until last week. Last week we installed the following security update for Exchange: "Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-021 Vulnerability in Exchange Server Could Allow Remote Code Execution (894549)" How can we tell the Exchange that only and only front-end smtp server should connect to external domains?
