I am working on a email flow document and have a hole in my documentation. We have two sites with Exchange 2003 servers and a front end Exchange server at one location.
I understand how the Exchange server interacts with the BES to monitor the messages via the MAPI profile on one server. The hole I have however is that our BES is pointing to the back end exchange server that is at the same sight as the front end server and the BES. How is the BES monitoring the emails that are being sent from the front end exchange server to the server at our remote location if it is looking at the other back end server?
Also, should I have the BES connected to the front end server instead of the back end server?
