Forward mail to other SMTP server when user is unknown
Hi There,At this point we are migrating our mailserver from groupwise to Exchange 2007 and at the same point we are connection the new domain in the forrest from a other school. All goes well but know there is a small issue that we have to fix. The Exchange server from the other school send's all message's for @grundel.nl to our new exchange server but there aren't users. There are two sollutions to our problem (I think) but I need to know what exchange can do for me.1- Our mail goes to the new exchangeserver and when there is a user that the server doesn't know he forwards the mail to our Groupwise server (through SMTP). Is this possible and how can I configure it?2- The mailserver from the other school sends the mail to Our Groupwise server direct. This is difficult because we are in one forrest and exchange see's that the grundel.nl is configured in sites and servers. Can Exchange bet configured to send mail for our domain to a SMTP server instead of our exchnage server and how can I configure that?Sollution 1 would be the best so we gen migrate a bit easier.Thanks,MarcelPS: All Exchange server's are 2007 SP2.

Hi MarcelThis sounds like a shared SMTP address issue. Exchange 2007 can cope with this quite nicely. Configure aAccecpted Domain for grundel.nl and mark it as Internal Relay Domain. Configure a new Send Connector for the address space grundel.nl and set the Groupwise server as the smart host value for delivery.With this configuration, Exchange will deliver any known @grundel.nl Exchange recipients locally, but will forward email for unknown @grundel.nl recipients to the Groupwise server.Tony
