Tracking messages in the two-CAS environment

Hello!

There are two CAS servers - Exch1 and Exch2, the user connection point - mail.testcompany.com - uses dns round-robin to point either to Exch1 or Exch2. Outbound internet connector resides on Exch1.

User3 connects to https://mail.testcompany.com (this time that was Exch1) and sends two test messages (one of them to the outside receipient). I want to make sure I can find these messages in the logs.

Exch1:

- that's what I'm expecting to  see.

Exch2:


Q1: Why do both exchange servers show these two messages - as far as I get it a single message can't be sent through two servers simulteniously?

Q2: Why does Exchange GUI shows both messages while PS only one?

Thank you in advance,

Michael

My guess would be the message that shows the count of 2 is the one with multiple recpeients on it (Subject: TEst1) and the message that says count 1 is the single recpient (Test2).

The reason this is happening, is Exchange just choose a random server to send the mail from.
