Hi there,
I don't know if this question has been asked already, I searched but couldn't find anything helpful on this matter (Probably I'm not using the right keywords. Sorry, non-native english speaker here).
So, we basically have an Exchange Server 2010 SP3 running in our organization (a very small one), and we are looking for a solution to send some of the emails through our internet hosted email services.
Here is the scenario:
Some of our employees are not in the Exchange server (at least not yet; the user exist on Exchange, but it's not being used by the actual employee), so when a local account tries to send an mail to a contact of the same organization, the mail is delivered through the Exchange server, and since this few users are still connected to the shared hosting, they have no visibility of them.
We change the Accepted Domain to make it Internal Relay and created a Send Conector to route the emails to the shared hosting mail server but it's not relaying the email, it keeps trying to send it to the local account. For this reason we remove a test user from Exchange to see if by not finding the user will then redirect the email so the external server can handle it, but we recieve an NDR reply.
We follow the steps of this article from Microsoft: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676395(v=exchg.141).aspx, but besides the issues I told before, now were are not being able to send mails to any external contact.
Does anyone knows if this is possible to accomplish, if we are missing something or if we need a completely new approach?
Thanks in advance!
Regards.
