Problem with Two Exchange Servers Communicating With One Another from Separate Networks
Hello,
I have two Exchange 2003 servers, one master and one member. They're on separate networks.
For example, ex01 is in 192.168.1.0/24 and ex02 is in 192.168.2.0/24. If I was a machine in 192.168.1.0/24, I would be able to communicate to the port 25 of ex01 with no problems:
220 ex01 Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service at ....
For some reason, when I try to communicate on the SMTP port 25 from 192.168.2.0/24 going to ex01, I get:
220 ************************** *****
And any input results in Unrecognized command.
I suspect it has to do with relaying but for testing purposes I've set the SMTP to 'Allow all except below' with the list being empty on both servers. And yet I still get the same error.
How can I isolate the issue?
Thanks.
Neil

Annoying when MS pull useful articles.
Thankfully they cannot do anything about the archive...

I was surprised as the latest PIX would have support for ESMTP. For now the solution is good for the situation but I may need to revisit the inspection map again.
Thanks again.
