Hello everyone,
Any help on this subject would be much appreciated. Here is my issue:
My company wants to change its domain name.
Currently it is blahblah@company.com, and wants to become
blahblah@newcompany.com .
Is there anyway to make this transition smooth and painless, without blowing away mailboxs etc?
Here is what I have tried so far:
I set up a test account (newtest@company.com), then I went into the properties for this email box and selected <email address> tab. Then, I double clicked the <smtp> section and changed the email address from "newtest@company.com" to
"newtest@newcompany.com".
This actually worked for the following test cases:
Internal loopback message
internal account email to new address
and external email from new account
However it fails if I send externaly (say hotmail, or yahoo) to newtest@newcompany.com.
Any thoughts on how to go about resolving this? Many thanks in advance!
