Local domain and exchange with .com

[timsayles1]

Please excuse my ignorance with this question. I am unfamiliar with exchange as I have used other programs in the past.

I had a two server network. server1 is PDC and exchange is BDC. The exchange has Windows 2000 SP4 with Exchange 2003 standard installed.

Here is my problem. The internal domain is mycompany.city.local but I want the email to be from mycompany.com

I have been playing around with setting and cannot find how to change the x.400 or the smtp records to reflect this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If the SMTP addresses are .local you need the recipient update service in Exchange System Manager.

Then drill through ESM to your SMTP connector. In there under Advanced is masquerade domain. Change that and it will sort things for outbound.

I would configure the recipient policy (Exchange System Manager - Recipients - Recipient Policies) to reflect the external DNS domains you want your Exchange Server to handle. If you add a SMTP address to the Default Recipient Policy like @mycompany.com and make that the primary address it will give all your users an address using "mailboxalias"@mycompany.com. You can customise this to have it generate email addresses based on first name and second name e.g. %g.%s@mycompany.com will generate firstname.secondname@mycompany.com.

this will give you all the options

hope this helps.

To further what Sharper said, for Exchange to handle email from a domain name, the domain name MUST appear in a recipient policy, and the SMTP addresses on the user accounts need to be added.
