Mail Between Two Exchange Servers

Ok I have two domains and a exchange server for each domain. domain1.com can not send email to domain2.com.

Domian1.com
IP: 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.10.250
Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Domain2.com
IP: 192.168.52.1 - 192.168.10.250
Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Both of these servers are connected through a router.

I can telnet to each server from the other server. I can ping each from the other. Is there some sort of mail transport I have to setup?? Is there a way to tell exchange that if mail is going to *@domain1.com then go to this server rather then send it out through smtp or something like that?

Hello jsuttor,

Smells like a dns/mx record issue...

Set up a smtp connector on each server pointing to their ip address:

I input the domain in the dns server pointing the mx record to the internal address.

Sorry I have Exchange 2007 not 2003... I just installed it about two weeks ago so still learning it and I am not familiar with setting up smtp connectors.

Nope did not work.

I added the transports on each end.... when I send a message from domain1.com to domain2.com..

I get 4.2.1 error...

Like it wont connect to the other server.
