Yes, SiteA will Route to SiteB via your routing group connector. If site
B is down, SiteA will queue for a specified period of time until SiteB
is back up.

I believe the two routing group solution is working. I won't know for
sure until SiteB starts to receive Internet email, but everything else
looks good.

Question - what would happen in the event the SMTP Internet proxy
mis-delivered email to SiteA when the recipients mailbox is hosted in
SiteB? Would SiteA then route it internally? 

Thanks, again, James!

        Option 1. Use no routing groups. If your site links is fairly
fast you can keep in one same routing group, no connectors. Email sent
by a user, it's respective server will send directly to internet. Email
sent to user on another exchange server in another site, Exchange will
route internally. Make sure you have MX records for both servers and
reverse DNS records 

So, within the default routing group created by SBS (SiteA was an SBS
install, SiteB is plain Win/Exch), how would the connectors be
configured? 

Any information in AD or as a recipient policy that needs to be set? 

Internet MX records will resolve to the independent hosted SMTP proxy.
Are you referring to those MX records or internally for DNS as a
dependency for routing internal email? 

        Option 2. Create two routing groups per site, create routing
group connects for internal mail delivery between sites. Create SMTP
connectors in each routing group with scope of routing group only. This
will ensure that servers in each site will send out through it's
respective smtp connector in it's own routing group\site. 

A total of four routing groups, then? How would the connectors be
configured in this option?

Thanks, James.

        Subject: [ExchangeList] Two sites - Outbound Internet email
independent

         

        AD SiteA - 192.168.1.0/24 - Exchange/Windows 2003
        AD SiteB - 10.1.1.0/24 - Exchange/Windows 2003 part of SiteA AD
and ORG
        
        SiteB is new, and just promoted the single server as a DC GC and
installed Exchange into SiteA org. 
        
        Inbound Internet email will be delivered to each respective site
by an independently hosted SMTP proxy. Internal email should be routed
between the two sites (they are connected via dedicated VPN tunnel).
Outbound Internet email should be delivered from each respective site
direct to the Internet. I.E. SiteA should not send SiteB's outbound
Internet email; and vis versa.
        
        I am trying to understand how to configure the Exchange
routing/connectors to meet this requirement.
        
        Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
