How do i set up an email account for another domain name??

[Cat1]

Hi,

I'm running a single internal mail server with Win2K and Exchange 2K, sitting inside a firewall/proxy ISA Server.

Our existing company (ie: 'company1.com), recently acquired another company (ie: 'company2.com'). I've relocated their website to our ISA server, but i want to set up an email account on our existing Exchange server that will appear as 'info@company2.com' - this will in turn automatically redirect to one of our 'existing@company1.com' email addresses, so that one of our sales team can deal with the enquiry.

How would i go about doing this? Do i need to set up an additional virtual SMTP server to the default one, or something???

Hope this makes sense,

Many thanks in advance.......

Go to your default recipient policy, and add another SMTP address, @company2.com. This will allow you to accept mail for both the company1.com and company2.com domains; you still need to update the company2.com MX to point to this server.

Now you have an option; if you check the checkbox, this will give the new address to anyone configured to get their addresses from the recipient policy (default setting). The implication here is existing company1.com users get the 2nd address which you may not want.
You can leave the box unchecked, then for each company2.com users, add a new SMTP address using ADU&C. You could also setup a second recipient policy, and setup a filter so the company2.com addreses gets applied only to those users who need it if there is some criteria available to differentiate between exising c1 users and new c2 users.
