well i guess this is growing up....

****WARNING! THIS MESSAGE IS MOSTLY GEEK TALK....THANK-YOU****

Aight...with that said, yesterday we had a server in Asis who's SMTP traffic was horrendous! This sit has four servers. Let's call them ASIA01, 02, 03 and 04. ASIA01 & 02 are both in the same location where as 03/04 are in different areas. Ok so ASIA01 is acting as the local bridgehead server sending local messages to itself, 02/3/4. 01 is experiencing heavy SMTP traffic...you log on to the server, terminate the SMTP session, re-start SMTP services and nothing! You ping the bridgehead that your RG connects you too and see a sllllloooooow ping along with missing hops. You log on to ASIA02 and ping without ANY latency! So you suggest setting the RG to connect to ASIA02 and get shunned down, so you shut ur mouth and just move mailboxes.

The next day someone has an appifany, swaps the RG to ASIA02 and then sends a huge e-mail about it. OMG! So I had to blog about that because credit was not given where it was deserved but being the professional that I am, I said "Hey, good job" in lieu of "Hey, suck my cock"

;-) go me! lol
