Greetings all, I have a customer who currently has their domain name, ext DNS and email hosted by Network Solutions. Let's call their company COMPANY.COM. They want NetSol to receive all email addressed to <username>@COMPANY.COM and forward the email to their Exchange server on their local network. The internal forest/domain namespace is also COMPANY.COM. The reason for this request is if their Internet connection goes down, NetSol will queue their mail until the Internet connection is back online. I am not quite sure how to configure this scenario. Do I need to rename their internal DNS namespace to something like COMPANYCORP.NET? Do they need to purchase a second external domain (like COMPANY1.COM), configure the Exchange for that name and forward the NetSol hosted mailboxes for COMPANY.COM to COMPANY1.COM? Please help.
No. You'll need to set the MX records for the domain to the netSol SMTP servers. Then, tell NetSol the IP addresses of your SMTP gateway(s) and it should just work. :) -- Thanks, Brian Desmond Windows Server MVP www.briandesmond.com "Snaz" wrote in message news:1138862899.804653.185580@g14g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > Greetings all, > I have a customer who currently has their domain name, ext DNS and > email hosted by Network Solutions.
