Exchange server 2003

Different delivery schedule for oversize messages


VAN.COM forest has two Exchange Servers. All mailboxes are created Exch1. Exch2 has no mailbox. Exch2 is a bridgehead server. An SMTP connector is created in Exch2 for Internet mail delivery.

You create corresponding contacts for mailbox-enabled users in Contoso.com forest.

Goal:

VAN.COM can send 20MB attachments to Contoso.com.

You don't want these attachments to delay delivery of other messages to Internet.

Solution:

Create a new SMTP virtual server and a new SMTP connector

The new SMTP connector configuration:

  • using this new SMTP virtual server
  • address space set to *.contoso.com
  • delivery restriction set to 20MB
  • Forward all mail destined to *.contoso.com to smart host: 10.1.100.50
  • Delivery option--select "Use different delivery time for oversize messages" and set oversize to 2000 (kb) and customize your delivery schedule.


Remember that SMTP connector settings will override the settings of smtp virtual server.
