I have 4 sites
Each site has 2 Hyper-V virtual servers, 1 Mailbox and 1 CAS server, so that's 4 CAS and 4 Mailbox servers across the organisation.
I have created a DAG and each server holds a copy of each others database.
I also have a public folder database that is replicated across all sites.
I also have Archive databases that are not replicated.
I have 4 send connectors. Each send connector has one of the Mailbox servers listed as the source server in the scoping option
Each server is running Windows 2012
Each CAS server is a DC
The domain is flat, i.e. all servers are in company.com. I think this could be the root of the issue. Can someone tell me if I should have created UK.company.com, HK.company.com, NY.company.com etc? What would be the implications of amending
the AD now?
My sites are:
NY, UK, HK, and NJ
I have a couple of issues.
1. Mail sent from the NY site is routed out via UK or HK, never NY. Although logging is on for all send connectors, I see no logs for sending on the NY servers.
Mail sent from the UK site comes from either HK or UK, and mail sent from HK seems to predominantly come from HK, but sometimes UK.
What I'd like is for all email originating from a user who resides in HK to be sent from the HK servers, UK from UK etc etc
2. Some internal mail for distribution groups seem to bounce around the servers going back and fourth before they reach their destination. e.g. email for group@company.com comes in to HK server, is sent to NJ server, then back to HK server where the
mailboxes for all of the members of that group reside.
How would I go about getting an easy to read log of WHY incoming email bounces around?
I hope my description of what I have is sufficient and that someone out there can smack me over the head with the proper way of doing things.
Cheers
Preston
