Tracert by port ?

[newtoitall]

Hi

I need to find out what router my emails are being pushed out from?

We have several routers that this windows 20003 server is connected to.

It would be great if I could run something like

tracert post.demon.co.uk 25 (smarthost i'm pointing to)

Then I would see all the hops before reaching final destination

Please advise best way doing this from my lan.

Thanks

Forgot to mention the routers sitting behind universal security device (firewall)

Routers don't route ports, so if you do a normal tracert without the port, you will see the same path that your packets would take if they were sending mail.

Routing is what happens at layer 3, and that's what tracert tells you about. Ports happen on a higher (transport) layer and don't change the routing.
