SMTP: How to Backbone Over SMTP (87033)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP 3.0
This article was previously published under Q87033 SUMMARY
It is possible to backbone over SMTP. Backboning is where one organization
has one office in location A and another office in location B and mail
is exchanged mail between the two locations using SMTP as the mechanism.
Any postoffice can submit mail to a postoffice at the other location
through its respective gateway.
For example, there may be five postoffices on a local-area network (LAN)
in location A and another five on a LAN in location B, with one postoffice
as a gateway postoffice in each location and the remaining postoffices as
downstream SMTP postoffices.
Backboning and its setup requirements are discussed in the "Backbone
Mail" section in Chapter 3 of the "Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP
Administrator's Guide."
