Hi,
I'm having a problem forwarding messages to unrecognized recipients to an external mail server. For instance, I would like all messages addressed to non-existant mailboxes @mydomain.com sent to an off-site SMTP server that responds to po.mydomain.com. I set this up in the SMTP virtual server settings by adding po.mydomain.com to forward all unrecognized recipients to that host and the off-site SMTP server is configured to accept anything coming into @po.mydomain.com. Since the Exchange server is fielding messages for mydomain.com, I don't see how it would know to accept messages from @mydomain.com. Wouldn't it try to forward them back?
Either way, this isn't working and I'm wondering if any of you know what I can do to get this working.
