What are Routing Groups? When would you the them?

Answer Posted / muthiah nagarajan

A routing group is a logical collection of servers used to
control mail flow and public folder referrals. In a routing
group, all servers communicate and transfer messages
directly to one another.

In a routing group, all servers communicate and transfer
messages directly to one another, as follows:

1. A user in your Exchange organization uses a mail
client to send mail to another user.

2. Using SMTP, the sender's client submits this mail
to the SMTP virtual server on the Exchange server on which
the client's mailbox resides.

3. The Exchange server looks up the recipient of the
mail message to determine which server the recipient's
mailbox resides on.

4. One of two things occurs:
• If the recipient's mailbox is on the same Exchange
server, Exchange delivers the message to the recipient's
mailbox.

• If the recipient's mailbox is on another Exchange
server, the first Exchange server sends the message to the
recipient's home mailbox server, and it is the recipient's
home mailbox server that delivers the message to the
recipient's mailbox.
