In the Exchange Server Administrator program connections, double-click on the Internet Mail Service to open the property pages.

Select the Address Space tab, which specifies which domains the Internet Mail Service is allowed to send mail to.

If the Internet Mail Service is currently configured to send to all Internet mail domains, you will see "SMTP * 1" in the Address Space. Select the entry, click Edit, and the SMTP properties will appear.

In the E-Mail Domain field, edit the entry to specify a specific domain. For example, specifying "*@tek-tips.com," allows the users to send Internet mail only to the tek-tips.com domain.

Click OK to add the allowed domain.

To allow the users to send e-mail to more than one domain, click New, specify the Type (SMTP in all cases regarding the Internet Mail Service), and type the address of the second allowed domain.

Let me know if this helps or not.

The tab next to Address Space is Delivery Restrictions.

In there you can specify who you accept messages from, and who to reject messages from.

You will need to add the domains addresses in an address book for it to work. Slightly naff I know!

I actually want to filter the receiving side of the email not the sending. We use a mail filter services and i would like to limit the incoming email to this domain only. We have been getting spammed a lot recently and its is by passing this filter services and going directly to our exchange box.

Thanks.....
