We are using Exchange 2003 in our organization on a Small Business Server. Currently, incoming emails for the company go to our ISP and we are using the dreaded POP Connector that is supplied with SBS Exchange to go out to the ISP and download our emails. (Yes--I know some of the Real Exchange Admins out there think the SBS POP connector is for weenies). Our company wants to change our employees email addresses to a different format. We would like to have both the old and new email addresses working simultaneously for awhile, so that if someone outside the company sends an email to someone's old address it will still come in. I didn't think this would be a problem with our ISP, just setup some sort of forwarding from the old address to the new. However they got back to me "no can do!". Here is what they had to say: "Because of the spam filtering, virus protection, spoofing protection and other security measures, it would not be feasible to forward mail from one account @ a domain to another new account @ a different domain" Is it possible for me to setup our Exchange server to: 1)handle our own incoming messages, and 2)have it support two email address domains/names at once? And is what our ISP says above true? Is it time for me to be a brave boy and handle our own incoming email/POP?Thanks in advance for reading my post and any advice!

Go to: Exchange manager- Recipients- Recipient Policies, open Default Policy and add one more domain to Email Addresses tab. Thats it, I did and it works. Now open in Active Directory some User-Email addresses and you will see what will happen. There you can find also checkbox Update automatically or something and you can play with it depends as you need. Tegija
