I'm not sure I understand what the difficulty is here. Each of the ORGs
would just have to have a secondary address type of user@xxxxxxx
<mailto:user@xxxxxxx> and that's the extent of the requirement, right?
If so, the only two difficulties you have are a) updating the user objects
to have a unique address (that means it may not match the current primary in
my opinion) across abc.gov and b) that you have a smart host (three or four
for the likely volume) that has a clear and up to date record of the users
SMTP addresses. The difficulty here is developing a process to keep that
information up to date.
I could suggest several approaches, but there's other factors that have to
be answered such as the sending address of the user and how they expect to
handle that. What their comfort level is with meta-directory technology,
etc.
Are the assumptions correct as you know them?

Subject: [exchangelist] SMTP Domain Name Change:Any Ideas??

Hi Everyone,
I ran into the following issue and need your ideas of any possible technical
solution. Please help.......
Scenarios:
There are two large enterprises A and B in the project consideration.
A has about 100 Windows NT 4.0 domains and 90 Exchange 5.5 organizations
with roughly 100 sites. The current SMTP domain name is sitename.A.gov so
the internet address for each recipient is john.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A has
an independent DNS infrastructure supporting its Exchange implementation.
There is no directory or GAL synchronization between these Exchange servers.
B has about 60 Windows NT 4.0 domains and 60 Exchange 5.5 organizations with
roughly 80 sites. The current SMTP domain name is sitename.B.gov so the
internet address for each recipient is john.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx B has also
its independent DNS infrastructure supporting the Exchange implementation.
There is no directory or GAL synchronization between these Exchange servers.
Both A and B network infrastructure is across continental US geographically.
The two networks have network connectivity through their Firewalls. The
total number of recipients for both A and B is about 500K.
Requirement:
Both A and B want to share the same SMTP domain name as a secondary address.
In other words, both A and B want to have ABC.gov as a secondary SMPT domain
name and at the same time keep the current sitename.A.gov and sitename.B.gov
as its primary SMTP domain name address. So, each recipient in A and B will
have two valid SMTP address, one is the primary one and other is the
secondary xxx.xxxx@xxxxxxxx
Thanks in advance for you help!
