SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Exchange Server message transfer agent (MTA) can send a message
through higher costing route when multiple connectors are available.
CAUSE
=====

costing gateway happened to be lower in the list of currently active in the
"connect retry state" than the least costing one.
RESOLUTION
==========

version 5.5. For additional information, please see the following article in the
