http://www.msexchange.org -------------------------------------------------------Had a similar setup in which I encountered this. Had unix frontend server exp. Somedomain.com. Hosts alias table which forwards to Exchange environment. Tried doing the same thing @hostname.somedomain.com. What we ended up doing was create a cname in DNS that references exchangeserver.somedomain.com. Works like a charm. -----Original Message----- From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sture Lygren Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 4:48 AM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Routing, policies, domains - trouble http://www.msexchange.org -------------------------------------------------------Hi, First a description of our setup here: Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Server. 2003 server is running AD and is acting as PDC for our domain (say somedomain.com) MX for somedomain.com is set to be mail-gw.somedomain.com. This is a linux-server running postfix. Postfix is configured to forward all mail using virtual mailboxes to our exchange server (so that mail to someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx is forwarded to someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Now - trouble is that I'm not able/allowed to configure exchange to create a recipient policy for SMTP:@exchangeserver.somedomain.com. The error says 'This domain address cannot be used for a recipient policy because it matches the name of an Exchange server'. And - without this setting mail is not accepted by the exchange server (exchange complains with 'relay denied for exchangeserver.somedomain.com') I expect many of you have a similar setup and has been able to solve this - question is how? Thanks in advance!
