Having 2 e-mail systems, one external and one internal, answering for the same domain name unless done in a FE/BE setup is asking for problems. John Tolmachoff MCSE CSSA Engineer/Consultant eServices For You www.eservicesforyou.com -----Original Message----- From: Faizal Khan [mailto:mis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 19, 2003 1:22 PM To: [ExchangeList] Cc: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [exchangelist] External & Internal Address http://www.MSExchange.org/ Guys, I need some help in some decisions here! I have a DC that is registered with say xyz.com as its internal mail server (exchange 2k), however I recently obtained my external mail server being hosted overseas with the same registration as my internal server. My problem is I set up an external email address but I cannot get this email to work since it cannot find the mail server. From what I see it is trying to utilize/resolve this from my internal server and hence the server cannot be found. Any ideas on how to tell the server it is an external email account? Exchange is behind an ISA firewall. Maybe a work around for a solution to use both or should I get another domain name? Thanks!
