Exchange Question

Butters · 2 Jan 2008 at 11:41

We have an exchange environment and our webhost has created a record so that all mail to @mydomian.com gets forwarded correctly to mail.exchangedomain.com (which points to our exchange server).

My question is can you set up another record for a different domain name to point to the same exchange server and then in active directory give the user/s the extra email address?

I hope that makes sense.

Yes you can do. In Exchange there is options to add extra domains in there. You just tell Exchange that this server is authorative for *@yourdomain.com and *@yourseconddomain.com this will get the e-mail into exchange, however you need to setup the second domain first so that your e-mail accounts will accept e-mails from the second domain (i.e. the users will have the second e-mail account).

I'll try and find a guid later.

Yes that pretty much sums it up.

There are more guides, information, etc. at http://msexchange.org/ if you can excuse there colour scheme and general site layout (the information contained there-in is worth it).

one interesting point I'm not sure if MS cover is the reply address obviously only one address associated with each user can be the reply to address so you made need to make a carefull selection. In my organisation we have both a .com and a .co.uk domain we use the .co.uk addresses as reply to because we are solely responsible for this domain.
