What are Routing Groups? When would you the them?

Answer Posted / md shahdan munsif

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:

A user in your Exchange organization uses a mail client to send mail to another user.
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.
The Exchange server looks up the recipient of the mail message to determine which server the recipient's mailbox resides on.
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.
