Routing Question

MangroveGeek · Joined: 27 Dec 2007 Posts: 3

We are partnered with another organization in a project. We are in separate
forests with no trusts between them. We currently have one smtp connector
with an address space of *.
We want to route some smtp fax traffic that originates in our domain
directly to their fax server instead of their exchange server.
The smtp fax messages always have an address in the form of
xyz*@theirdomain.com. I would like to route all smtp messages for
theirdomain.com that start with the letters xyz to a smart host (their fax
server), but route all other messages for theirdomain.com via the normal DNS
route.
Is this possible? If so, please give me a suggestion.

Thanks.

- No, it's not. You could route mail for foo.theirdomain.com
(*@foo.theirdomain.com) to the fax server.

That might do as a work around. What's the best way of accomplishing that?

Connector with address space foo.theirdomain.com.
Make sure they accept mail for foo.theirdomain.com and have recipients with
those email addresses.

Thanks, Bharat.

OK. I have one smtp connector using DNS with an address of *. If I create a
second smtp connector using a smarthost to send mail to foo.theirdomain.com,
will all mail sent to theirdomain.com continue to use DNS on the other
connector? And just the foo.theirdomain.com mail go out to the smarthost?
