Need:You need to tell Exchange (recipient policy) about the subdomains, and
TO create 3 subdomains for my DNS records with related email routing to existing Exchange.
For example, I need to create the following subdomains as related to the company divisions:
sales.my_comapny.com
support.my_company.com
accounting.my_company.com
When some one emails Fred, the accountant, I need the address to be fred@ accounting.my_company.com even though it still goes to the existing domain and exchange server: mail.my_company.com.
Likewise I need the reply to show his full alias.
I don't know how to set this up.
Current Setup
SBS2003 Premium. 1 domain. mail.My_company.com (mx record)
2 locations 20 miles apart.
second location on a different subnet using Server 2003 for DNS and data storage.
I am quite new to exchange and DNs and would appreciate any NOOB advice.
it will automatically create email addresses for the users. Mail for
fred@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and also mail for fred@xxxxxxxx will all arrive at
SBS user fred's mailbox. Fine control can also be applied, but this
much can be done automatically. Basically, Exchange must accept mail
for a particular domain, and each user must have among his email
addresses the one appropriate to each domain.
Most importantly, the subdomains have to exist. You can't do that
in-house, the company hosting my_company.com must create the subdomains
(and may make a charge) and create MX records for each, pointing at your
public IP address. That depends on the domain hosting company and your
particular package with them. I have a package from 1&1, for example,
that allows me to create up to 1500 sub-domains based on the half-dozen
domains I lease from them, without additional charge, and to control the
DNS entries.
There is a theoretical alternative, of taking over the nameserver role
for my_domain.com and running a public DNS server (with geographically
separate backup), when you can make up your own subdomains as you wish.
This is quite a bit of work, plus the usual risks of running public
servers on the Internet, which certainly shouldn't involve your SBS.
