Exchange 2K on Windows 2000 SP4 - current email domain name 'mydomain.demon.co.uk' All email is collected from a demon pop3 mailbox by Vpop3 and forwarded to the Exchange server and all was happy until the owner of the company decided he wants to use mydomain.co.uk as their primary address - easy I hear you say, but there's more! mydomain.co.uk is a company of many offices and I don't control the MX records or anything like that. The person who controls that has got forwarding set up from user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx to user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for my office only(20 users). When I change the primary address in recipient policy, and try and send a mail to user2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx who is not a user on my exchange server, I get the usual 'Unknown recipient' error message. Temporarily, I have added a second SMTP address in recipient policy to accept incoming mail to the new email address - but are still sending on the old address. My question to you all is how can I forward messages for unknown local recipients to the internet rather than the postmaster? They will then get routed correctly to their destination. I hope this is clear ...Spence ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------
