Multiple HT servers same AD site
sawyer
In AD siteA I have one mailbox server and two HT servers. The two HT servers
have the "default" receive connection and both HT servers participate or are
"source servers" for the internet "send" connector. With this design it
would appear that I have redundancy for internal email routing within the AD
siteA and I also have redundancy sending emails to the internet and
receiving emails from the internet. Does this sound correct? also how does
the mailbox server pick or chose a receive connector on a particular HT
server to use to route email? and when an email needs routing to the
internet and because I have two HT servers, then what is the method for
choosing a particular HT server to use to send the email to the internet?
Many thanks

As you describe it, yes.

The selection is arbitrary unless you configure the mailbox server to use a
specific one:
Set-MailboxServer -Identity <mailbox_server> -SubmissionServerOverrideList
<ht_server_list>

Configure it as the only source transport server in the send connector.
