Re: How to forward mail for certain users to other SMTP server - same domain?

Hi Michael,

POP3 is definitely not the way we want to go. That's where we are now and
the failings of POP3 are the reason we're pushing to get a different set-up
in place. Our current view on where we're going to go with this is:

Site A - domaina.co.uk - users Rod and Jane based here but also need email
to/from domainb.com
Site B - domainb.com
SBS 2003 Premium at both sites

At Site B, all incoming mail arrives via SMTP. We remove the email aliases
which we wish Rod and Jane to receive mail for, leaving only their default
username alias. We untick the box telling the SBS at Site B that it handles
all mail for the domainb domain and tell it to forward any mail for
unresolved recipients to a host which happens to be the SBS server at Site
A. At Site A, all incoming mail also arrives via SMTP. We add the email
aliases which we wish Rod and Jane to receive mail for to domainb in
addition to those already set-up for domaina. At this point, all incoming
mail to either site is delivered to the SBS boxes via SMTP. Incoming mail
for Rod and Jane to their domainb.com addresses is received via SMTP at the
Site A end and delivered to their Exchange mailboxes therein. We utilise the
functionality of ChooseFrom, SmartFrom and SmartReply from Ivasoft
[www.ivasoft.com] to allow us to reply/send from the domainb.com addresses
using Outlook at Site A.

We can therefore access and properly use mail for both domains from Site A.
All incoming mail is received via SMTP at Site A. All mail is accessible
remotely in a single place using RWW to Site A.We avoid having seperate
profiles for each domain, which gets away from having multiple calendars. We
can, if necessary, work around any lesser issues such as synching calendars
between sites but the email one was a far greater and more pressing issue
for us.

Will post back to let you know how we get on.

Cheers,


David

Hmm, the forwarding is easy, it is the reply address that will be
painful.

The only way I can think of doing this is by leaving the email on the
various servers and then using a pop3 account to pull it down. your Pop3
client remembers what account it used to get the specific peice of email
and when you reply, it uses the address specificed in the account
section of that pop3 account to stamp the email for reply.

This means you can have one exchange account and one pop3 account, with
replied emails being stamped as coming from unique senders domains

Hi Michael,

Sounds like I've not explained myself clearly.

Incoming mail for someone@xxxxxxxxxxx
Arrives via SMTP at SBS Server at Site B
If its for one of the users based at Site B, fine - it goes into their
mailbox there
If however, its for one of the users based at Site A [which has an SBS
box
for another company with domaina.com], we want to forward the mail onto
this
server - we do NOT however want to simply forward it to
thatuser@xxxxxxxxxxx - the mail needs to remain as being to
thatuser@xxxxxxxxxxx otherwise we cannot reply as being from domainb.com

That make it any clearer?

Cheers,


David

I think everything I read here might have confused me or maybe you have
made this more complicated than I can personally comprehend, have you
thought of making contacts in the AD with the external forwarding email
address and then on the user account that needs the email forwarded, on
the AD exchange tabs, tell it to forward a copy to the selected contact
?

Hi all,

Further to prior discussions regarding Exchange handling multiple
email
domains, just wondering if there is a way of having incoming mail for
certain users at clientdomain.com forwarded from the SBS box all mails
for
this domain arrive at onto another SBS box at another site which has a
different primary domain but the respective users have aliases with
the
other email domain?

IE

Site A - domaina.com
Site B - domainb.com
2 users - Fred and Harry whose reside at Site A but who need to
receive
mail
for both domains
At Site A, both users have had aliases added for their corresponding
@domainb.com addresses
Both sites receive incoming mail via SMTP

Ideally, I'd like to having incoming mail at Site B for both Fred and
Harry
'bounced off' to the server at Site A [we'd naturally set-up a DNS A
record
in the domainb.com dns records pointing at the Site A server?]

We'd then likely use Ivasoft's ChooseFrom, SmartFrom and SmartReply to
make
using the domainb.com addresses properly simpler at Site A for these
users.

Is this possible or not? If not, I guess its 2nd profile in Outlook at
Site
A, pointing a the domainb/Site B over HTTP and choose which profile
when
it
opens. We'd like to avoid this if at all possible however.

Cheers,


David
