Am running exchange 2003, what is the easiest way to assing multiple email addresses with different DSN to a user account?(ex. user@domain1.com and sales@domain2.com) for both send and receive? both domain names are registered with godaddy.
what settings to do in :
-total dns control settings(godaddy site)
-DNS settings on server
-exchange settings on server
??
 
Here is what I did.
External DNS, Created a New record which pointed to the IP address of My SMTP gateway (IIS6).
In IIS, under Default SMTP Virtual Server, I created a new domain called domain2.com. I configured it to "Allow incoming mail to be relayed to this domain." And routed the domain to a smart host, which is my exchange server.
In Active directory - userpropertes - I added a secondary receipient email address to the user. So the users primary is jdoe@domain1.com and secondary is jdoe@domain2.com. This allows the user to receive mail from both addresses.

The only issue is that when sending and email, Exchnage uses the primary address as the sender. So if you want the user to send as either you will have to use the FROM field in Outlook or which ever email client the user is using.

Hope this helps...
 
FYI: you can also do the SMTP configuration on Exchnage as well, if your not using a mail gateway. I am just assuming that you don't have your Excahnge server exposed to the Internet.
