What are the types of connectors you can use in exchange?..

• Routing group connector

The routing group connector is the recommended connector
for connecting routing groups that are in the same Exchange
organization. This connector uses SMTP to transfer messages
to other servers running Exchange Server 2003. The routing
group connector can only be used to connect routing groups.

• SMTP connector

The SMTP connector establishes a messaging route between
two routing groups or between a routing group and a non-
Exchange SMTP host. Although the routing group connector
and the SMTP connector use SMTP as the transport protocol,
the SMTP connector provides additional functionality in
that it can be used to connect an Exchange organization
with any SMTP server.

• X.400 connector

The X.400 connector establishes an X.400 messaging route
between two routing groups or between a routing group and
an X.400 system. Like the routing group connector and the
SMTP connector, an X.400 connector can be used to link
Exchange routing groups. Generally, X.400 connectors are
used only when connecting to other X.400 messaging systems.

Exchange Server 2003 supports the following optional
connectors that you can use to connect the organization to
non-Exchange messaging systems:
• Exchange Calendar Connector

Exchange Calendar Connector is used for exchanging
free/busy information between an Exchange organization and
a Lotus Notes or Novell GroupWise messaging system.

• Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes

• Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise
