accept mail for a domain (Exchange 2003)

We can configure all of your servers running Microsoft Exchange Server to accept mail for a domain by adding that domain to your default recipient policy.


To add a domain to your default recipient policy:

• Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
• In the details pane, double-click the top-level node.

{This is the name of your Exchange Server organization, which might be named something like First Organization (Exchange Server).}

• Double-click Recipients, and then click Recipient Policies.
• On the opposite side of Exchange System Manager, double-click Default Policy.
• On the E-Mail Addresses (Policy) tab, click New.
• Choose SMTP Address and then click OK.
• In the Address box, enter the domain name (such as @Example.com). The domain should be prefaced with a @ symbol. Ensure that the This Exchange Organization is responsible for all mail delivery to this address check box is selected.
• Click OK.
• Select the check box next to the new SMTP domain name, and then click OK.
• When prompted for your user’s e-mail addresses from this domain, click Yes.

Updating e-mail addresses can take a while to complete. When completed, you can send mail to users at the domain you specified and have it delivered to their mailboxes.
