Set the B send connector address space to * and disable send connector A. That will work unless you changed something else.
Exchange Server Send Connector
Hi ,
We've multiple exchange 2010 and exchange 2016 and running on coexistence mode.
A send connector with domain * and source server 2010.
B Send connector with domain gmail.com and source server 2016.
Mailbox on exchange 2010 will go to exchange 2010 A Send Connector.
Mailbox on exchange 2016 except gmail.com go to exchange 2010 A Send Connector.
After disable A Send Connector, Mailbox on exchange 2010 will receive bounce back.#554 5.4.12 SMTP; Hop count exceeded - possible mail loop detected , it can't route to exchange 2016 B Send connector.
Can we route all the mail traffic to Exchange 2016 B Send connector?
Thanks.

Any exchange site configuration need to take care?Thanks.

If i put
A Connector with * domain Exchange 2010
B Connector with * domain Exchange 2016It will use Exchange 2010 first and never go to Exchange 2016.
Thanks.

2021-03-29T02:48:06.937+00:00 Hi @Mark TT ,
I think this is because of a setting error of your send connector or Exchange server.
Is the domain of your recipient configured as an authoritative accepted domain?
