We have 2 Exchange Server 2016 in AD-Site A with a send connector to the internet (not scoped) with adress space *
We have 2 Exchange Server 2019 in AD-Site B with 2 Edge Servers. We have a created a send connector with the edge subscrition. Afterwards I have configured this connector for SMTP Domains (contoso.com) and marked as scoped.
When I send an email in site A to contoso.com the message get routed over the scoped connector in Site B.
In my opinin the mail should be routed over the send connector in Site B.

Check the priorities of your connectors!
Connector priority determines the order in which connectors are used to route messages.

It didn't help. Exchange always seems to take the most specific send connector and doesn't take into account cost or "scoped send connector"

SolutionBy design, this is the intended behavior.
When selecting a Send connector, Exchange always prefers the most specific (scoped to a specific domain) Send connector.
This is due to Exchange's routing behavior, where scoped Send connectors are given higher priority.
