asked on mailflow in a mixed environmnet (Exchnage server 2003 and Exchange server 2007)
how can i identify the exact mailflow, still we are using exchange server 2003 and exchnage server 2007.
We are using Spam and virus firewall using Barracuda , when i checked in the barracuda firewall ,
i could find ount that the destination mailbox server TCp/ip deatils , still it is pointing to-
Exchange server 2003 Bridge head server , so this means when external user send mails to my -
organization (abc.com) , the mail fisrst comes into BARRACUDA Firewall and then point to Exchnage server 2003
then the exchange server 2003 redirect this to hub transport server of exchnage server 2007 . once the mails comec into hub -
transport server , the hub transport server point to correspond mailbox servers for the maildelivery,
Is there any method for finding the mailfolw ? how can i ensure that still the mailflow happens through the Exchange server 2003 (Bridge Head server )
???? Let me know any tools availble for findintg the mailflow ??? any tricks avialble ????

Still there are no mailboxes in Exchange server 2003 ,
details ( its migrasted environmnet from Exchange server 2003 to Exchnage server 2007 )
Exchange server 2003.
1) BHS1.ABC.COM --------(192.168.10.100) ( Bridge head server for Exchange server 2003)
Exchange Server 2007
1)mb1.abc.com (192.168.10.101)
2)mb2.abc.com(192.168.10.1
3)hub1.abc.com (192.168.10.103)
4)hub2.abc.com(192.168.10.
Firewall
Barrracuda1.abc.com (10.10.10.100)
the Barracuda firewall is configured with the following details ,
Destination mailbox server (192.168.10.100)
( there are already one routing group connector in exchange server 2003 , from BHS1 to HUB1.abc.com(remote bridge head server is Exchange server 2007)
The hub transport server is already configured with send connectors and receive connectors , Everything is working fine ,
--------------------------
External MX record is pointed to barracuda , so the external inbound mail first comes into barracuda and the barracuda send this mail to destination Exchange server-2003 as it is configured in Barracuda. once mails received in Exchange server 2003 (BHS) it will redirect to Remote bridge head server (RBH) that is HUB transport server in exchange server 207. Once the mail received in hub transport server , the hub transport server deliver the mail to corresponding mailbox servers .
Please clarify it, whether my idea of mail-flow is correct or not ??

That will still work because Exchange 2003 will still receive mail for the Organisation, I was giving you the CORRECT mailflow.

hi amitkulshrestha and endital1097, thanks for the update, It is clear in the Internet headers.
Mailboxes on the 2003 server will send via the SMTP Virtual Server to the hub transport role.
There should then be a Send Connector configured on the Hub transport role to send mail out of your organisation.
