Hi,

I hope I'm not asking something that has been posted before, I did search but perhaps I don't really know what to search for!!

I have the following environment, all Exch 2003:

Office 1. Exch01 (Local IP: 192.168.0.0; Ext IP: 1.2.3.4)
Office 2. Exch02 (Local IP: 10.0.0.0; Ext IP: 5.6.7.8)
Offices are 200 miles apart but linked via a hardware site-to-site VPN.

Exch01 was live long before Exch02, and Exch02 was installed with all default values.

Things have been fine until recently where we now have a situation where mail going out from client PCs in Office 2 is routing through Exch01, and appears to come from 1.2.3.4 when you look at the header. This has flagged a problem because Exch01's ext IP address has been blacklisted so email to certain recipients is being blocked.

Is there a way to force email being sent from clients in Office 2 to go out via Exch02 and therefore the correct external IP in the header (5.6.7.8)? I thought that was what routing group connectors was for but I obviously don't understand something here,

TIA.
