two domains into one mail server

Aussie Rules · 05-09-2008, 06:39 AM

I am running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server SP2. I have two domains, www.company.com and www.companyinc.com. I want to have email addresses set up for myname@company.com and myname@companyinc.com and have both email addresses send mail to my exchange server. Has anyone out there done this before? Thanks for any help I can get on this!!

It's pretty easy to do, but you don't have to actually create an additional e-mail address for that.

1. Make sure that your DNS Provider has the MX record for the new domain pointing to your public address of your Exchange server. I doubt you are running your OWN public DNS servers - so you may need your Internet Providers assistance for this.

2. On the Exchange Server - use Exchange System Manager to navigate Recipients | Recipient Policies | Default Policy and add the domain @domain2.com (replace domain2.com with the actual domain) to the list. This will allow your Exchange server to accept mail for this domain

3. Make sure that your user in Active Directory Users and Computers has the address name@domain2.com on it

You will also need MX records on your internal DNS servers as well pointing to the new mail domain or your internal users will not be able to email this domain locally.
