Joint Venture/Mailaccess

[MichelS]

Hello,

we have a kind of Joint Venture with another company. There won't be a domain trust relationship between the companys. IMAP/Pop3 is not allowed. There will be employees who work for both companys, and get useraccounts/mail in both companys. The goal is to send and, if possible, to receive mails with both accounts.
The only way I know is to use Outlook for the company the user is just looged on to, and OWA for the other one. But the Managers dont like this solution because OWA can't be used offline.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Michel

Deliver the message to both domains.

Set up a custom recipient that points to the other mail account ie bob@partnerco.com and then set the users' mails to be delivered to both the alternative email address bob@partnerco.com and their own. It means managing both mailboxes but does allow what you want.

Or you could just set this up to deliver just to one mailbox and use something like RPC over HTTP to get their mail? Don't know if that would work but it'd be fun finding out! You could always get them to vpn to the host company and get their mail like that.

Thanks for your answer! This is a good idea. What about sending? Could we use the partner companys mailaddress in the "From:" Field? In combination with your suggestion that should do the trick.
If I try this in the moment I get a Non delivery Report. "You do not have permission to send to this recipient". A problem with relaying?
