2010 hub servers with mutiple sites
Hi Everyone, Planning to install exchange2010 for mutiple locations across globe. Different location have mutiple smtp domain 1] France 2]Italy. 3]Russia France Italy,Russia are part of same active directory forest Additional domain controller are installed in remote locations France/italy /russia. Planning to install exchange 2010 in respective location with 2HUB/CAS 2MBX IN DAG mx for respective locations italy/russia/france will be pointed to isp spam filter which will forward mails to respective location Hub /server Can we achive routing of respective domain mails to internet thru respective connectors ex: France smtp domain abcd.com xyz.com mails to internet will be routed thru different send connectors .\ Italy will also have different Cas array as it will be in different site with 2 smtp domain qws.com tws.com all mails to internet from italy will be send thru different send connectors. All email Address policy will be created on OU level. Can we route sender based for respective locations.

According to this thread, you'd have to write your own agent to do source-based routing, i.e., routing outbound messages based on source address: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrtransport/thread/f640dd06-2c30-4ba7-82c4-8fc186b98def If all you want to do is ensure that each site's mail goes out through the local connector or the AD site, that's easy with separate send connectors for each site going through their local hub transport servers, each connector with -IsScopedConnector:$True set.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi , We have already proposed third party tool for this . But management is asking why we cannot relay mails by creating new send connector in different site and add local hub server ex:smtp abcd.com for remote site remote site A will have different connector remote site B will have different connector all will relay their mails thru different connector.( abcd.com in Italy will relay mails thru different smart host ) ( xyz.com will be relay mails thru different smart host in different site .

hi, Why do you want to do that? For disaster recovery? >>>Planning to install exchange 2010 in respective location with 2HUB/CAS 2MBX IN DAG mx for respective locations italy/russia/france will be pointed to isp spam filter which will forward mails to respective location Hub /server I think you use your isp's server as your mail smart host to route mail. Your connector will point to the smart host. And you can't route based on sender. The similar case:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrtransport/thread/b01ec100-32ae-4563-84c4-ceeedfe6884f You can get more information about message routing from here:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998825.aspx hope can help you thanks, CastinLu TechNet Community Support

It' not disaster recovery site but different geographic locations.\ We have deployed single forest single domain arch with respective locations having additional domain controller 2 hub/cas 2 mbx we are using antispam service from different ISP at different location for incoming and outgoing mails. every location ITLAY /RUSSIA Has mutiple smtp domain we don't want to setup seperate exchange and seperate forest . Aim is to centrailize Active directrory as well as exchange 2010 .. Management is asking clarification for outgoing mails respective mail to internet should relay thru different send connectors in different site?

What you want isn't clear. If it's location-based, you have separate AD sites, and Exchange servers in each site, then it's easy. Set up separate send connectors for each site and configure -IsScopedConnector:$True. Then each site's outbound mail will go through its respective -SourceTransportServers for the site's send connector. If what you want is source address-based, you've been told that you'll need to write code or obtain some third-party product that may or may not exist. Perhaps if you explain what the objective is instead of what your proposed solution is, we can give you better advice. As it is, you're telling us how you want Exchange to work rather than what the real problem is. Maybe there's a more elegant solution than the one you've thought of.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

MY requirement is complicated every location wants to relay mail with different smtp address to internet thru different connector

Can I have mutiple internet facing exchange HUB servers as every location smtp domain will have their mx pointed to respective ISP antispam services which will forward mails to out internal hub servers.

Again, you have still proposed a solution and not the problem. Yes, you can. But it won't work the way you want it to for the reasons explained above.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Yes it's a solution but why we can't create mutiple connectors for mutiple sites having exchange setup with defining * adding source servers for different sites and smart host to resolve this issue.
