Re: Is this possable with exchange and no ISP

Hi there,

This is perfectly doable.

What I would do is just setup email for the AD domain. However, you can
follow the directions below and instead setup DNS in a new primary zone (and
make a secondary on your remote network):

Create an MX record for the domain pointing to your Exchange server.
Edit the Exhcange recipient policy so that the default SMTP addres sis
*@yourdomain.com

Create a pair of routing groups for the two sites, and create an SMTP
connector between them. The SMTP connector should handle the
*@yourdomain.com namespace.
