How to configure 2 Exchange (2003) Servers with Port 26

[burgerking68]

Hi,

i've got a problem in configure a second Exchange Server (2003 Standard) in the same domain (no sub-domain!): When i'm setting both outgoing ports of each smtp-connector to Port 26 (like the admin-guide is telling me) i've got the issue that incoming mails only arrives to the Exchange Server i configured to the mail proxy in proxmox - mails that must be "routed" to mailboxes on the second exchange server didn't leave the message-smtp-queue (in germans Exchange: "Nachrichten in Warteschlange für verzögerte Übermittlung")

Any ideas!??
Thanks for help

There are several problem on Exchange if you use not port 25. I this case I highly recommend to use port 25, so you have no Exchange issues.

HowTo:
See page the admin guide (documentation)
chapter "7.2 Configuration for Exchange 5.5" describing the workaround.

This is highly recommended if you have more than just one simple single Exchange.
