Hi there, We have added a 2nd 2003 sbs server running exchange at a 2nd site which also has a need to use the same domain name. Site A, the original site, downloaded the catchall address and worked o.k. We set up 1 additional pop3 mail box for site B and had the named users of site B pointing to that address for site B to download.. The problem is that we are now having all sorts of looped e-mails.. is this the right way to go about linking to exchanges with the same domain name or is there a better way...? Thanks

I think you are in the world of unsupportedness. You can't have to SBS servers in the same AD domain, and there can only be one exchange org/forest. you'll have to get off SBS.

Easiest solutions first, why not just have a single SBS and use a site-to-site VPN for the 2nd branch? Next easiest solution, dont use email at the 2nd branch and give them email accounts at the first branch (they could use OWA or RPC/HTTP for remote access). Alternativly, if you must have 2 seperate exchange orgs, you couldhave seperate email addresses internally and unified addresses externally. To do this basically you would configure them as independant domains/exchange orgs at the two sites and than at one of your sites you would create contacts that forward back to the users in the 2nd domain. Ideally they should be part of the same domain/org, and as was mentioned SBS is not designed to function that way. Erik
