Domain Mail Confusion..

[Vince0000]

I have a little bit of a mixup in my setup if you can help sort it out for me...

I have my server setup to masquerade as mycompany.com for example and it's server name is xyz.mycompany.com

I can send mail back and forth everything is fine there. What I have balled up is if I mail TED for example it works fine but if I mail Roger@mycompany.com it expects it to be a local user at this location and gives a user does not exist error.

Is there a easy way to re-route that so anything @mycompany.com is sent by internet not held locally.

I have to masquerade as mycompany.com because all INCOMING mail comes to {user}@mycompany.com to a exchange server and then I have to address getting the mail forwarded to my mailhub {linux server} to be delivered on another network. I believe another Linux Server setup with a Virtusertable setup would be the way to go but i'm not sure if exchange 5.5 can be setup similar or not. I'll worry about that when I get to that step i guess.

Thanks in advance!

Man I feel like a idiot...

In my local-host-names I was hosting mycompany.com not xyz.mycompany.com so that problem is fixed...

Now onto the bigger question...

Can a Exchange 5.5 server split incoming mail similar to the virtusertable in linux?

Example :

5 users all get mail at {user}@mycompany.com
3 of those users has to have there mail sent to my mailhub for delivery. What would the easiest solution be?

In my reading I think a linux server setup there also would be the best solution... and then having the virtusertable pass mail to xyz.mycompany.com or to the actual exchange server that is mycomany.com but i know finding a solution with exchange at this time has to kinda be the answer.

Thanks again!
