Multiple domains

[allanh1]

Guys,

Looking for some advice here! We are using a current exchange environment with 2 smtp servers that then deliver the emails to 2 sendmail servers are re-written and forwarded to the internet. That all works fine. Our parent company has decided that we need to route emails through them to put them on the internet.

So at the moment we are trying to pilot this and are experiencing some issues. With keeping the current structure we need to divert certain peoples emails through 2 different SMTP connector servers whic route them to a different email infrastructure. The problem we get is that they are then trying to route emails for the whole organisation across the 2 new email connectors, Which isnt what we want. We have put in all the restrictions to only accept emails from certain people and also the registry keys to make this work, But it still trys to route emails for both domains., Does any one have any ideas?


Thanks in advance!

Have you looked at the recipient policies?

Yep the recipient policys are configured correctly as i can see.

We have abc.com which is currently sent through smtp1 and smtp2 and we want 123.com at the same time to be sent through smtp3 and smtp4 as smtp3 and 4 are essentially internal routing to another part of the organisation the 2 sets of servers cannot deliver email for the other.

Cheers

i would set up two smtp connectors, exclude 123.com from the first, then exclude abc.com from the second and then set a smarthost on the connectors pointing too the server the mail should goto.

Thanks for the info - where are you excluding the address from on the smtp connector asi cant find anywhere to do this,.

If im right the address space is the external recipient essentially so changing this isnt going to help?

Thanks

In the address space, remove the * and add in the appropriate domain name.

 

[allanh1]

But if you do that it only routes emails going to that domain, If you want to send something out to the internet it doesn't send it

As i mentioned above the * is the recipient address (or seems to be) not the senders address so this option doesnt work. Any other suggestions?

Cheers
