Hi Group,

I could use some help here. I know it should be obvious but somehow I'm not seeing it. Here's the situation:

- Exchange 2010 organisation managing authoritatively the SMTP domain domain1.com
- mailboxes with SMTP addresses of xxxx@domain2.com are bulk added to that organisation. The addresses exist externally.
- domain2 is NOT listed as Remote or Accepted domain, nor is it added explicitly to the address space of any Send connector
- I would like Exchange to deliver mail sent to xxxx@domain2.com externally instead of putting it into the newly created mailboxes for a period of time, then revert to normal behaviour

Is it even possible without deleting those SMTP addresses and re-adding them afterwards?

Many thanks in advance, your help is appreciated, as always.

That's not possible with the default behaviour of Exchange. The server will try to deliver the messages locally first, then send an NDR or deliver them external depening on the type of accepted domain.

I think you should remove the addresses temporarely, or modify them with _temp in the address or something like that and add the domain as an accepted domain of type internal relay.

Thanks Jetze,

that's what I thought. Another shot, though: Would you say it's possible to achieve the above if the sending part of the organisation is still on Exchange 2003?

Thanks

I think so, Exchange 2003 behaves more or less the same.

Anyway, I would test this in a small test environment if I was you. My experience is that with this unusual stuff a false assumption is easily made.
