Multiple Domain Support

[L. DeFoor]

Greetings everyone,

I have a MS Exchange Server 2003 (current SPs), using Outlook 2003 for
client.

I have been using one domain to receive and send internet emails
(domain.com).

I have now been asked to do the following and haven't a clue if - let alone
how - it can be done.

I now have been forced to have a second domain name (domain2.com). The
reason for the second domain is a government requirement that anything is
visible to the government on domain2.com. If we leave it as domain.com and
don't separate it, the government can look through ALL of our emails so,
administration wants them separated. We only have ONE Exchange server, BUT
CAN add a second if we have to.

A problem I am running into is, while I can easily make the server accept
both domains and can send from ONE of them, I need to be able to select
which domain to send from.

I have some users that are ONLY domain2.com and I have some users that
actually will need to send from both, domain.com and domain2.com.

MS articles say to create a ALLOW SEND AS and it should go out from the
domain they selected, BUT I haven't been able to get that to work properly.

So, my question is, does anyone know of a way to be able to select which
account to send from, still using one Exchange server. If going to two is
needed, how do you set up outlook to select from two different ones?

I have thought about making the domain2.com users only go to domain2.com and
then having the domain.com users that need domain2.com POP domain2.com from
within outlook. That MIGHT be an option.

This type of question is best answered in an Exchange forum - microsoft.public.exchange.admin is a good place to start.
