Hoping someone can help me. I browsed the new group for info but some info doesn't make sense to me so this is what I need to do. Use a smart host for all internet bound email excluding one domain (test.com) Route internally (I have 3 exchange servers one a bridge head) One connector I guess so that I can route email for say @test.com to use DNS and not the smart host. Problem I have now is if I set the smart host on the VS it routes internal emails that are destine for another internal mail server out to the net to the smart host. If anyone can let me know the best way to do this it would be appreciated! Thanks
Hi, Smart-hosts should always be configured on a SMTP connector. Otherwise problems like the one you encountered will occur.

So if I use an smtp connector that has the smart host on it only mail that is to be routed to the internet would go to the smart host. THe rest would stay internal? If this is the case and I need to send to one ext domain to not use the smart host do I just make sure it is the first connector and set the one with the smart host to do * ? I guess I am just not sure on how it evalutes the connectors. If there is one for * domains and one for say .test.com domain what keeps it from applying the connector that covers all domains if something is sent to the test domain Thank you very much for the help.

Create another SMTP connector and use the remote mail server as the smart-host and on the address space tab enter the email domain of the remote domain. > > I guess I am just not sure on how it evalutes the connectors.
