The BE will Relay to the FE ok. In the Queues for the BE there is nothing, but when I look at the Queues for the FE, the "messages queued for deferred delivery" has all the test messages I sent. they are getting stuck on the FE for some reason. yes, I did restart both servers.

From your FE, perform a telnet test to another domains mail server such as hotmail if you have an account with them. See how far you get. Also what was your FE used for in the first place just OWA? See if smtp service is running and that you have a mailbox store mounted.

1. Go to start run, type cmd ok
2. nslookup -type=mx theirdomain.com
note the fqdn of their mail server

telnet fqdnoftheirmailserver 25 (hit enter)
mail from:you@yourdomain.com (hit enter)
rcpt to:them@theirdomain.com (hit enter)
data (hit enter)
. (hit enter)
. (hit enter)

Should say message was queued.

That worked ok but shouldn't it be the other way around?

when i do it the other way around (log into my FE) and try to send outside the domain it gives me a "550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for email@domain.com".

-- One finally made it through and after looking at the internet headers it looks like the message bounces around 3 or 4 times between the FE and BE before it gets sent out.

When you log into the FE and perform a telnet session to say hotmail, it's giving you unable to relay? If that is the case, it's usually configuration issues within your smtp vs on your FE.

One finally made it through and after looking at the internet headers it looks like the message bounces around 3 or 4 times between the FE and BE before it gets sent out.

How?

I have no idea why it bounces around like that! I have the one connector saying to go to 10.10.13.10 which is the front end exactly like you described.

Do you think RPC has something to do with it?

Can you check your SMTP virtual server on both your BE and FE to see if a smarthost is configured? Right click your smtp vs, properties go to On the Delivery tab, click Advanced to open the Advanced Delivery smarthost field.

Everything seems to be working ok now. That was the problem, I didn't have my BackEnd's smart host set correctly so the email's were just bouncing back and forth. The sync is working as well. Thank you for all your help!!
