Hi, Having a big problem at the moment which I hope someone can help with. We are running SBS 2003 with AD and Exchange configured. We have an internal AD domain 'CCM.local' and an Internet domain 'finance.uk.com' which is used for E-mail accounts. We are using the POP3 connector for e-mail accounts which get delivered to local domain accounts. The problem is that in exchange we have configured the FQDN in the SMTP connector which is required as 'finance.uk.com' and this allows e-mails from users within the AD domain to be sent to each other. But we also have e-mail accounts in our other office who use the same FQDN but are not part of the AD domain. When trying to send e-mails to anyone in the other office it comes back as a failed delivery as it says the recipent address does not exist. Now what I think is happening is that when sending any e-mails to addresses with the FQDN 'finance.uk.com' it looks in AD for the domain account as it thinks you are sending it local which then fails as an account in AD does not exist. I hope someone can help as this is a big problem for us at the moment as no e-mails to users in the other office can be sent. Thanks Amish Lukka
In the recipient policy, uncheck the "This Exchange Organization is responsible for all mail delivery to this address" and then configure a SMTP connector to send the unresolved mail to somewhere else. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
