Hi everyone, need your help with the following: Got a client that has 1 exchange 2007 server and at the moment we have got setup one Send Connector that only allows email to be sent to about 8 external client domains through a Smart Host (Barracuda). Now this client needs to get a couple of their users to send email to anyone externally to the internet so to any domain really, however everyone will still be allowed to send emails to those 8 external client domains. after reading about it some people speak about setting up a Transport Rule as it follows: Create a DL "Deny send mail to Internet" and add users to it. Create a transport rule with conditions "from a member of a DL" and "sent to people outside your org.", DL should be the one previously created.Action should be "send a bounce message...". now the problem is that this would deny all users expect those outside this DL to send emails to the internet as well as those external domains, this is not good for what i need. So i though can i create a Transport Rule to apply to a Specific Send Connector? Can i restrict via ADSI Edit who can use the Send Connectors this way i would create 2 different connectors, one for the internet all domains and only allow a few users to use it and the second Send Connector allow everyone to use it to send out to those 8 client domains? Can anyone advise on this for me, it would really be greatly appreciated. Exchange 2007 responses only please as i have had a lot of people talking about exchange 2003. Regards and thanks Carlos Gomes

Hi Carlos, Please understand that there is no method to create a Transport Rule to apply to a Specific Send Connector. I suggest that you can add two Edge Transport Exchange Servers with two send connectors. One Edge Transport Exchange Server is responsible for sending email to specific domains. The other Edge Transport Exchange Server is responsible for sending email to all domain. Then, you can configure two send connectors for the two Edge Transport Exchange Server separately. In addition, please enable the same Transport Rule as you listed on the Edge Transport Server which used to send emails to all domain. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Create a DL "Deny send mail to Internet" and add users to it. Create a transport rule with conditions "from a member of a DL" and "sent to people outside your org.", DL should be the one previously created.Action should be "send a bounce message...". +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mike
