Hello All,
I was curious if using .local on your domain would create issues when sending emails? Im using domain.local as my domain name and I was wondering if I should change it to domain.com so the email will resolve back to the server. Can the header even been changed within Exchange or will I need to change my domain?

Emails will sometimes get rejected and I was wondering if thats why. Any help would be appreciated.

Your AD domain name and your SMTP domain really don't have any ties to each other. Each can be whatever you'd like.

Do you have your Tek-Tips.com Swag? I've got mine!

Stop by the new Tek-Tips group at LinkedIn.

If emails are rejected, there will be an error coming back. Troubleshooting that would be better than a suspicion.

As long as you have a public domain in your "Accepted domains" list and then use that same public domain as the default domain in your Email Address Policy, then you shouldn't have any trouble, as long as everything else (MX record, firewall rules, etc) have been set up properly.
