Hey guys I have 2 servers in my organization. On server 1 I would like people to be able to send outgoing emails and do everything a typical user can do. Anyone on the server 2 I would like them to only be able to send to internal recipients. I know I can create a DL and create a transport rule to block everyone that is NOT a member of the DL. But is there a way to block outgoing emails by server, or vise versa on the DL. I don't want to have to add everyone in my organization to this allowed DL just exclude less then 1 percent of my user base. Thanks! Mike

I think this will achieve what you want, although I think it's better to use the group approach. 1. Put the servers in separate AD sites. 2. Configure separate Internet send connectors for each site that apply to the site only. 3. On the restricted server's site's send connector, point it to a nonexistent smart host. 4. Configure the unrestricted server's site's send connector, like your existing effective Internet send connector (or just change the existing one to apply only to the unrestricted site). -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

You should be able to use a transport rule that says if an email is sent to people outside the orgainzation, and the Receive From: header contains the name of mailbox server 2, drop or bounce the email.

Thanks for the responses guys. Thanks mjolinor, you actually got me thinking and looking back through the list, I was getting hung up on the exceptions step. I can select the option for for a DL and messages destined outbound in the conditions step select the action to bounce the message and skip selecting anything in the exceptions step. I think that will do what I want it to! Thanks again! Mike
