Exchange 2010 - Send connectors for each domain name

Hello,

I have exchange 2010 on SBS 2011. The company has 3 domain names. Two of them are going to use different infrastructure than the last one. How can I create a send connector for domain number 3 that will stay on the old infrastructure and a another one for the domains that will be moved.

Thank you

Go to Send connector properties:
In the Address Connector tab specify the third domain
In the Network tab use "Route mail through Smart Host" providing HUB/Smart Host for old infra.
As far as I can tell, you can't specific a Send-Connector based on the sender's email address (which is, I think, what you're asking for).
Possible in Exchange 2003, but not 2010.

For some comments, see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/d0859d7e-1855-4ada-a63a-9c678d84e6b9/send-connector-for-a-specific-domain?forum=exchange2010.
For two domains to comunicate with 3rd domain, you need to create new send connector in each domain by specifying 3rd domain smtp namespace with message delivery mechanism (Smart host OR DNS)
In old domain also you need to create two send connectors specifying their smtp name space with message delivery mechanism in order to communicate with other two domains.

Exchange doesn't do sender based routing, not even in Exchange 2003.

To do what you want to do you have to use a third party transport agent. There are a few of those around, but I haven't used any of them myself.

Couldn't he just use two different send connectors? The first Send Connector specifies the first two domains in the Address Space. The second Send Connector specifies the third domain in its Address Space and point them to different Smart Hosts? Unless I am misunderstanding what he is asking.
