Multiple Send Connectors: same address space, different smart host and source servers
Hey all, Some details first: 2 x Exchange 2013 CU 23 Servers in a DAG (both on Server 2012) 1 x Exchange 2019 CU 12 server (Server 2022) 1 current on-premise mail scanning server 1 new on-pre...
- There's a bit of black magic that goes on under the hood with internal message routing, and I don't believe you would get the results you are looking for (ie users still connecting to 2013 use the old mail scanning server, while test PC's connecting to the new 2019 server use the new mail scanning server for outgoing mail). If you want to be guarantee that only certain users use a send connector, I'd look at using transport rules to send mail from certain users to a specific connector.
Thanks Dan_Snape you are right in what result I was looking for.
Dang it, I'll look at transport rules then, or as we aren't a 24/7 organisation maybe find a time to change some IP's (port forward on the firewall and Send Connector) and just test the new mail scanning server out of hours.
All good thanksVictor_Ivanidze
I picked a time, switched the send connector and tested sending, all good; changed port forward on firewall and tested receiving; all good.
Perks of not having a 24/7 business!
