Issues with routing / smtp

[MS_KZ]

We just upgraded 2 MX2000 to MX 2003. One at Site1 "site1.overhere.all.com"
& the other at Site2 "site2.overhere.all.com". They are a child domain of
"all.com"

Mail flows from Parent to Site1 & from Site1 gets routed to Site2.

The build wasn't too bad (thanks to Sembee), but I have problems stopping
the services. Site1's old MX is up but has all MX services & SMTP disabled.
When I try to do that for Site2, all mail gets queued at Site1. This is
really bizarre.

If I turn off the services on the old MX at Site - I get this problems:

1. No mail between Site1 & Site2 (should I use smart host or not? - how do I
config it ?)
2. All mail for Site1 gets queued at Site2

Please advise.

Hi,
Do you have a routing group connector between the sites - if yes you ned to
reconfigure this connector to use the new servers.

Yes, the connectors are pointing to the new server & there are no smart
hosts

Have you assigned the new server to the routing group master?
