- If both the bridgeheads in your Routing Group A fail the SMTP Connector
for outbound internet mail will be marked as down. If the scope of the SMTP
Connector in Routing Group B is entire Org and not restricted to the Routing
Group, and if servers in Routing Group A can reach servers in Routing Group
B over the Routing Group Connector, messages will be routed through Routing
Group B.

Re: SMTP Connector Question
Bharat,
I have one more question. I had added a server to the SMTP bridgehead the
other day but it seemed that the messages were just filling up in the queues.
Especially the "Messages queued for deferred delivery". The queue actually
grew quite fast so I pulled it out of the mix and that actually made my smtp
service to stop working.
Question: If I add the server as a bridgehead should I restart the SMTP
service.

Re: SMTP Connector Question
Two more questions:
When I create the SMTP connector in Site B should my address space be * and
