Hi,

By multiple domains, do you mean the ability to send/receive mail to/from
multiple domains? If that's the question, then yes you can do this. You
would need to look in to recipient policies, these determine who gets
"stamped" with which SMTP address, so the mail will be "from" domaina.com,
or domain.com for example. Likewise the default recipient policy
determines who the server can receive mail for, so your default policy,
using the above example, would also need the same domains on it. The new
recipient police for domaina.com, can have a filter applied to it, so it
only updates some of your uses - likewise for the other policy to cover
domainb.com.

The last thing is to get MX records correctly updated in DNS for the
multiple domains.

Hope that helps,

Kind Regards,
