I am using Windows SBS 2008, which has the Exchange 2007 built into it. I have www.domainone.com (example) as my primary domain for the active directory, exchange, sharepoint, etc. I have three more domains. www.domaintwo.com, www.domainthree.com and www.domainfour.info that I am trying to set up email for inside of my exchange. I assume, following a number of technet blog posts, that I have set up the accepted domains, and email policies for the domains properly. The primary domain is a company domain along with two other domains. The last domain is a personal domain. The desired result is that a single user (UserA) could check email from UserA@domainone.com, UserA@domaintwo.com, AUser@domainthree.com, etc, however, the emails need to be kept separate. When UserA checks UserA@domainone.com, the user will NOT recieve email from domainfour.info and domainfour.info will not recieve email for domainone.com. This needs to be handled via the server. After setting up the accepted domain/email policies I adjusted my email policy priorities accordingly, in which I then went to a user account from my primary sbs domain and manually unchecked the auto update via policy checkbox as well as added email accounts for the other domains to the user account. When I send email from domainone.com to domaintwo.com, or domainthree.com to domainone.com, or domaintwo.com to domainfour.info, etc. or an external source to any of the four domains, I recieve duplicate emails. At least one to the email that it was destined to be sent to, at least one email for the primary sbs domain email account. It is my belief that when I send an email to ONE of the emails listed in a user accounts "e-mail addresses", it gets sent to all of them, if not just the two i mentioned. When I set up outlook, an ideal setup would be: So, if a user required email accounts for all four domains, the outlook datafiles would have: Exchange: domainone.com pop3: domaintwo.com pop3: domainthree.com pop3: domainfour.com Each of which would have their own separate inbox/junk/trash/etc. Currently I can get this set up properly, however anytime a user receives an email, it gets duplicated and sent to multiple addresses. Can someone please help me?!? I am on messenger using my windows live ID, or you can post back here. Thanks alot in advance!

First, Outlook traditionally has not served multiple masters well. If you mix Exchange and POP providers in the same profile, you're likely to get bitten in the butt. Second, when a mailbox has multiple proxy addresses, mail it receives isn't very readily distinguishible by the target e-mail address. The best answer I can give you is that if you need mail separated, then create multiple mailboxes. Or you could use public folders, but it'd probably be clunkier for what I think it is you're trying to do. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

When your saying create new mailboxes . . . I have attempted to create new mailboxes, but it ended up making me create an SBS user account for each mailbox, and would not list my pre-existing users when trying to use an existing user (in the wizard). All the wizard would show for "existing users" is the Administrator and the iuser_yadda_yadda account. Could you provide a link of some sort that breaks down creating accounts for multiple users vs creating multiple accounts for one user? User A needs to have userA@domainone.com, AUser@domaintwo.com, User.A@domainThree.com etc. UserB only needs to have userB@domaintwo.com UserC needs all 4 domains, etc When I send email to my primary domain email address, it does not duplicate. It's only duplicating for additional email addresses that I added to an sbs user account.

Yeah, that's probably an SBS licensing issue, true. In Exchange each mailbox has a user account. You can give each user/mailbox as many e-mail addresses as you want, but it's going to look to the user as an aggregate of mail. I don't know of any way to do what you want to do within the constraints of the way Exchange handles inbound mail. You're getting duplicate messages because you're pulling the mail with MAPI and POP providers. Each provider knows nothing about what the other ones have done. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

So pretty much the answer I am getting is this: If I have 3 users, I need to create 3 mailboxes for each domain (provided all users need the domain email)? So, for 4 domains, I would need to have 12 mailboxes(User accounts) for just 3 users if I want to keep the email separate? Theres no way to optimize that in sbs2008 or exchange 2007?

I am not one to say that there's no way of doing something, especially given enough time and money. But I know of no other way. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." . "Anthony Hart" wrote in message news:b71e4759-f083-4507-85d8-3914c88c920f...

Just to clarify your answer. One user with email from, lets say 3 different domains on the exchange server . . . How does creating mailboxes interfere with the CAL's i have for SBS? Will it take up 3 or does it even care? I am running my Exchange from SBS 2008 that was obtained via our company's Microsoft Action Pack subscription. I believe it came with an additional 5 "terminal server CAL's" which I have yet to put on my server that I am unsure of what exactly they are for. We have currently four domains that our company maintains, and currently, our low user base is preventing major issue, but I need to find a solution to this. SBS2008 - Exchange 2007 - 4 Users - 4 domains Email accounts need to be separate. Either MAPI or POP3 if possible. User needs to be able to access all emails without having to log in to the computer as a different user. UserA login needs to be able to access all 4 domain email accounts and have them seperate. I am half-way tempted to tell my users that they need to just use that one global "aggregate" account, and use mail filtering rules inside of outlook. What would you say is the easiest way to implement an outlook rules template to domain users aside from manually creating them each time a user logs into a different machine? In addition: How would I be able to ensure that each user would be able to send from the different domain addresses?

As to CALs, I am not authorized to quote licensing terms on behalf of Microsoft. You should contact your Microsoft representative or reseller. In addition, you should ask SBS questions in an SBS forum. One thing you can do, however, is create public folders for the alternate addresses. Public folders don't require CALs. I don't think Outlook will be able to filter based on the SMTP address. As far as Outlook knows, it all comes into the same account. To send from separate addresses, with Outlook MAPI you will need separate mailboxes or a third-party add-on. You can specify alternate addresses if you send via SMTP, as you would with POP or IMAP, but, trust me, you don't want to mix MAPI and POP or IMAP in the same profile. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .
