Right then - Exchange 2007 configured and working fine for abc.co.uk domain.

However we now want to move forward and add the next domain. I can configure the POP connector to download from there which is no problem.

I have added the accepted domain for def.co.uk which should mean all the e-mail goes in fine.

One thing - as I create the users I create them under the abc.co.uk domain for logon and then edit the SMTP address from abc.co.uk to def.co.uk.

Have I got this right - is it really that simple? And if I send e-mail from that address will Exchange then route it as an email from def.co.uk?

Cheers,

Probably better to create a custom recipient policy, that way you can set it so that a user gets a different address depending on other factors (eg what company name they have in their AD account detail) Saves you changing every user.

Just thought I'd confirm to the OP the part that's implicit in this reply - yes, what you're suggesting would work fine.

But a custom policy would be better suited to a releatively large number of users (but if you're using a POP connector, you probably don't have that many).

Good point, but would be good to play with it so you know for the future.
 
Users:

30 on the main abc.co.uk site
40 on the secondary abc.co.uk site

With regards to the recipient policy - what do I need to configure implicitly? I'm more concerned about the outgoing mail. I know there's something called 'the address re-write agent' which sounds perfect but this sits on the Edge server which we're not going to be using (mainly because they can't afford two servers and the CAL's, etc.)

Doh - I think I read it wrong. I'm guessing the rule applied to an OU or something similar would remove the abc.co.uk SMTP mail account and make the new one?
