I have Exchange 2007 installed on a W2k8 box with two NICs. How can I tell Exchange to route all outgoing SMTP traffic out via a specific NIC?

Edit: Can I do it via the W2k8 firewall/routing?

  • Maybe using differents metrics in your nic configurations – Maxwell Aug 12 '09 at 12:59
  • Problem being that I want almost all other traffic to go via main NIC. The NIC I want to use for SMTP will actually have higher metric... – Marius Aug 12 '09 at 13:03

Check this blog out: http://exchangepedia.com/blog/2008/03/routing-outbound-mail-using-particular.html. It explains how you have to do this through the Exchange Management Shell.

Please note the following:

However, as noted in the documentation, this only works on Edge Transport servers. Hub Transport servers ignore the SourceIPAddress parameter.

Hope this helps.

This can only be performed on the Edge Transport server according to Microsoft, so I am not sure if it will work on a Hub that is also handling Edge traffic.

Use the following PowerShell command to set the source IP:

Set-SendConnector "Connector Name" -SourceIPAddress a.b.c.d

More information is available on the Set-SendConnector command here.
