We have DNS setup for our current domain and I have all the proper
entries so users get to my mail server via the internal ip instead of
the outside ip.

For example:
ourdomain.com has entries for smtp.ourdomain.com as a mail exchanger
and a host record and they both go to my internal ip 192.168.x.x

Our mail domain name is changing and it will not be same as the name
of our DNS domain. I need entries so smtp.newdomain.com gets
translated to our inside ips. How do I do that?

Do I have to setup a new zone?

No, you merely put the record in your CURRENT zone, e.g., domain.com
as an MX record that maps the SMTP server name to your domain name.

The equivalent of this:

domain.com. MX 10 MailServer.OtherCompany.Com.

You place this primarily in the EXTERNAL version of your zone
(although you may need it internally also.)

That won't work. I can't add an MX record with periods in it.

Of course you can. IN the GUI the periods are not normally need though.

Can you
give me the exact steps please? I am using Server 2000. Thank you.

Use the GUI, right click on the zone, new MX, add the record with
the value of the external server.

It is literally that simple.

Try it. If you get it wrong, delete it and try again. It will take you
less
than 3 minutes to get it right.

That's not what I am asking. I have a zone called mydomain.com. In
that zone I have an MX record for smtp and it goes to my mail server.
That works no problem, you add an MX record, type SMTP and then put
the IP address of the mail server. The smtp gets automatically added
to my zone name to create smtp.mydomain.com

Now what I am trying to do is change our mail domain, but not our zone
name and I do not want to add a new zone. I need an mx record for
smtp.newdomain.com so when people try to go to smtp.newdomain.com the
DNS server doesn't refer them to an outside IP address. I do not know
how to make the addition to the DNS for newdomain.com
