We have a client with a strange exchange problem. Any suggestions or advice welcome:
Scenario:
A single w2k3 SBS server running in a single AD domain. The company has two public domain names. All users have mailbox enabled user account and an email address belonging to the first domain (let call this
@domain1.com). There are also a number of users which have a second email address for the 2nd domain (lets call this
@domain2.com).
Emails for
@domain1.com come in via SMTP however emails for
@domain2.com are collected via pop3.
Now the tricky part...
The guys who have the 2nd email address require the ability to send emails as both
@domain1.com &
@domain2.com. To achieve this we created a second mailbox enabled user account for each of the guys who required two email addresses. We then configured the second user accounts to forward all emails to their first account. We also granted 'send as' permissions so users can send emails to both domain email address from their 1st user account.
The users with two email addresses only user their 1st user account. The second user account is only there for 'send as' and domain2.com forwarding.
This strange setup works however we have discovered a problem. If someone sends a email addressed to
user1@domain2.com;
user2@domain2.com &
user3@domain2.com then all three users receive 3 copies of that email. The same applies if a email is sent to five
@domain2.com users, they each receive 5 copies of the same email!!!
Any ideas?
