Domain naming and emails

My domain is currently pdc-xyz.local as suggested by the Win2003 installer for security purposes.

When I send an email it displays the sender as "bill.smith.local" on the recipients email

How do I get it to display "bill.smith.co.uk"?

Do I re-name the domain controller to pdc-xyz.co.uk or can this be achieved by altering some exchange option?

Many thx
 
Hi Veefour

The easiest way to do this is to add mutiple email addresses to the user in active directory.

Eg to the Bill user add an address of "bill@smith.co.uk" and "bill@smith.local" and set the primary address to the .co.uk domain.

The .co.uk will then appear on all outgoing emails.
