MX Records

We currently run 2 email system, both work fine. Both systems are behind a firewall.

The problem is when one exchange servers looks up the MX record it gets the external address. The problem is that the firewall blocks the external address on port 25.

You can connect to the other server using the internal address on port 25 without any problems.

What I would like to know is there a way to put in a static MX record for this one email serevr.

Hi stuartgarland,

You can set up SMTP connectors between the servers so that mail is delivered between them locally.
This would be in addition to the SMTP connector that you use for your default mail delivery.

You can find out how to do this at : http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2000/deploy/confeat/12x2kadb.mspx

I hope that this helps.
