I have problem for Sending Mails to Internet . Here is my Exchange topology
I have Mail server in my main Campus Exchange1 and Activer Directory also in the same site. We have another Branch and mail server hosted there called exchange2 . Both are in seperate Routing Group and We configured Routing Group Connector for internal Communication. We are able to send and receive the mails from the branches. But the problem we cant send mail from both the branches to Internet. I cheked in queues and find that mails are in queues. If i will force , mails can be send to Internet . What could be the problem ? Even i tried to configure SMTP Connector for Internet mails but still the same problem. Could you please help me on this.
Thanks in Advance.

hi mate,

When you say stuck in the queue only the geninue email are stucked or you have blank sender or recipient email on the top of the queue?
can you try to do a telnet from both the domain and see the response.

When you do message tracking what does it say?

Can you EXTRA (Exchange troubleshooting Assistant tool) you can download it from www.exbpa.com

Anil,

quote:

This indicates the message left the Exchange server to wherever it goes next. Depending upon how you configured your SMTP connector, that could be a smarthost or the recipient system.

1.Do you have smarthost configured in the SMTP virtual server of the Exchange servers or to route mails using DNS?
2.What is the message in the "Additional queue information" area below when you select the outbound queue, when it is in retry state?

Yours look like most probably a network issue, check the network speed when the mails are looking like stuck in the queue.
