Adding a .com address to a .co.uk server 1

[paulovey]

Hi,

We have a site with a exchange server setup to recieve all name@company.co.uk email addresses.

They now want one address to be a info@company.com address, they have spoken to the ISP who has done all they need to do at their end.

I have also added a internet address as a alternate address with the correct .com address. And stopped and restarted the IMS, but when people try to send to this address, it fails with the error "To many hops". The org is set up as as .co.uk domain, so I need to enable .com. Ideas anyone.

Paul,

What you have to do is edit the Internet connector under the routing tab place *.com or ourdomain.com, although you might have to edit further settings according to how your network is setup Gordon R. Durgha

Gordon,

Thanks for the reply, but will that affect the .co.uk addresses. As they want to do both!!!

I am thinking that this cant be done.

Gordon,

Thanks for your help that has worked. Oh and the customer sends their regards as well.

If you have enabled routing, essentially what you are doing is forwarding the .com mail to the .co.uk domain and keeping the username the same. Hence you don't need each user to have both .co.uk and .com addresses.

Big downside is that you are routing mail. If you are not careful you can have your server route a load of spam. I fell into that trap in September and routed 210,000 emails of spam through my Exchange server...

oops.
