INTRODUCTION
This step-by-step article describes how to change the routing of outgoing Internet e-mail from your Exchange 5.5 Internet Mail Service Connector to an SMTP connector on Exchange 2000 Server or on Exchange Server 2003. You must follow these steps before you remove your Exchange Server 5.5 computers and after you migrate to Exchange 2000 Server or to Exchange Server 2003.

If you have a single Exchange Server 5.5 computer in your site, perform the steps in the &quot;Single or last Exchange Server 5.5 computer&quot; section. If you have multiple Exchange Server 5.5 computers in your site, follow the steps in the &quot;Multiple Exchange Server 5.5 computers&quot; section, and then follow the steps in the &quot;Single or last Exchange Server 5.5 computer&quot; section.

You can now remove the SMTP connector on the server. This connector is not required for outgoing e-mail from the Exchange Server computers. However, if you have multiple Exchange Server computers in your site or in your routing group, you can keep the SMTP connector and use this server with the SMTP connector as the bridgehead server for outgoing e-mail.
