Hi All

Can anyone suggest a way of routing all mail from an internal Exchange
environment out to a smart host for scanning before it is delivered to
internal recipients ?

So you are NOT hosting your external SMTP domain with your Exchange Server?

Mentioning Exchange Server version helps - assuming this is for Exchange
2003/2000.

- It's not recommended to route internal messages through non-Exchange MTAs.
- Most smarthosts won't know about internal message routing and topologies,
and thus be unable to route messages back correctly. (particularly in
anything other than a single Exchange server topology)
- During SMTP routing and message conversion, most message properties are
lost.

Spiker sounds dumb but what are you trying to accomplish?  AV scanning, spam?

Email is being scanned for viruses and content by a provider in the cloud for
inbound email.

All outbound mail for external delivery is also scanned by the same provider
in the cloud

I would like ALL mail to be scanned including mail delivered between
internal recipients by the same provider

I guess without third party software this is not possible natively in
Exchange ?

You didn't post your version of Exchange.  Upgrade to Exchange 2007, which
passes all mail through the hub transport role server, and install antivirus
on the hub transport.  Or implement a store-based antivirus solution on your
Exchange 2003 or earlier version.
