POINTING MX RECORDS TO INTERNAL SERVER

[psolis]

I have pointed the MX records through the hosting companies DNS servers for one of our domain names (example: test.com) to an Exchange server that I set up - created a domain called test.com. Named the computer exchange (exchange.test.com) - all mail is being sent and delivered fine - NOW, if I point one of our other MX records for another domain (example: hello.com) to the same server (exchange.test.com), where I have the same users for both domain names, could a user on the server now recieve mail from both domain names? And if so, when replying, what email address would it be coming from - if this is possible, do I have to set up another virtual SMTP server?

I think all you would need to do beyond that is setup another smtp setting for the users. That should be all. If its all users you can do it from the recipient policy.

I just pointed the A record and the MX record for the second domain name to my server and already I can see the website come up but then I tried to send an email and it was bounced back to me saying: Unable to relay for user@hello.com. I know that the records are now pointing at my server and like I said the website is alresdy coming up for the name (hello.com) but the email doesn't work - there must be some type of SMTP setting that I need to set up?

You may need to set your relay restrictions.

Would you be so kind as to giving me a hint on how to do that? Thanks - is it in the SMTP connector?
