Specify Connected Routing Groups for SMTP and X.400 Connectors

At any time, you can add, modify, or remove Exchange routing groups that are connected to your routing group with an SMTP or X.400 connector. All connected routing groups must be in the same organization. Each connected routing group is specified by an administrative group name and a routing group name on the remote server. The remote server must be an Exchange server, so that the naming conventions are known. You can specify several connected domains for each SMTP or X.400 connector.

To specify connected routing groups for SMTP and X.400 connectors:

1. Start System Manager
   On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2. Navigate to Connectors.

   2. Administrative Group
   3. Routing Groups

   5. Connectors
3. Right-click a connector, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Connected Routing Groups tab.
5. To remove a connected routing group, select it in the list, and then click Remove.
6. To change a connected routing group, the routing group's address, or its connection cost, select the routing group in the list, and then click Modify. In the Properties dialog box that appears, on the General tab, select a Routing Group to connect to from the list of available routing groups in the organization. Routing groups are identified by administrative group name and a routing group name. On the Routing Address tab, modify the SMTP or X.400 address properties or the Cost.
7. To add a connected routing group, click Add. In the Properties dialog box that appears, on the General tab, select a Routing Group to connect to from the list of available routing groups in the organization. Routing groups are identified by administrative group name and a routing group name. A default address for the routing group is calculated automatically. To change this address, on the Routing Address tab, for an SMTP connector, type the E-mail domain and Cost. The e-mail domain name is 1 to 255 characters, composed of the host name and Internet domain name, for example, nwtraders.com. The recipient and domain name are separated by an at (@) sign, for example, suzan@nwtraders.com. For an X.400 connector, type any of the following: Organization (o) name, Organizational unit (ou) name, Private management domain name (p), Administrative management domain name (a), and select a Country/Region (c) from the drop down list. When you are done, your X.400 address space might look like this: p=Microsoft;o=NorthAmerica;a=mycarrier;c=US. For either type of connector, enter a cost value between 1 and 100. The default cost is 1.
