Setup exchange to send from a subdomain address?
We use to use exchange. Now we use google for email.
However we send email blasts sometimes using a software called Campaign Enterprise. This software just connects to an email server instead of sending email direclty itself. We want to continue using the exchange server for sending these.
The thing the exchange server obviously no longer has our MX records set up for it. So emails get flagged as spam more.
So I want to setup exchange to send from a @subdomain.domain.com address instead of just @domain.com. Then we can get all the proper DNS setup so that it is the "official" email server for that subdomain.

sorry - nevermind - duh...
another question... I want exchange to deliver email to our own main domain to google (instead of to the mailbox's on the exchange server)... So I was changing the properties for the main domain in the accepted domains window to change the main domain to "external relay domain" but I get an error "cannon remove the domain "domain.com" because it is referenced by the proxy address template SMTP:@domain.com
How do I resolve this?

So I followed this and changed the gatewayProxy value do the new subdomain. Then I removed the main domain completely from the accepted domains... but if I send email to myaddy@mydomain.com from OWA it still delivers it locally instead of to google. Any ideas?

I believe you would need to setup a mail contact for lookup purposes. Let me look into it when I get home..
ASKER
Have you had a chance to find out? Thanks!
You would need to setup a mail contact for it to be forwarded, I checked it on a O365 client we have.
That was the way we got a shared namespace to perform the lookups, and then forward email off :)

Thanks! So what exactly do I need to do though? I set up external mail contacts before for external addresses so I could add to a dist. group... is that what I need to do? Just make one of them? Or one for each user I want to receive mail? How does this tell exchange to deliver extenally?
Sorry for the dense questions...
Also - when I email my personal address I still get the email from @domain.com instead of @subdomain.domain.com

Sorry to be a pest -- I really appreciate the help you have given so far, but I am a bit lost at this point. Get you get me pointed in the right direction?
#1 when I send email from the exchange server it still shows as @domain.com instead of @subdomain.domain.com.
#2 Regarding what you said....
Sorry if my questions are dense! If yuo get me pointed in the right direction I am ussually pretty good at tinkering and figuring it out... but just a bit lost at this point.
Thanks again!

I have set up external mail contacts before for external addresses so I could add an external address to a distribution group... is that what I need to do? Just make one contact for someone on the server? Or one for each user I want to receive mail externally? And I just make a contact like I did for an extrernal address? Just confused how this tells exchange to deliver extenally....

yea.... Long story about that.... I won't get into it here :-)
Anyway - Thanks for your help!
I am trying out this wizard (Can I still use it even though I already started the other way?
I get a warning about how server is configured to use a trusted cert. If I continue an selfissues cert will be used. And after I finish the wizard I must run the Add a trusted cert wizard to continue used the existing cert or to issue a new one... I would probably need to get a new cert since it a new address? (and the server might not be able to send email (except to spam folders) without a cert... is that right?)

Hmmmm... just messing with the dns records sounds tempting at least for getting it to just be a valid sender. However I don't think that solves the problem of wanting the exchange server to deliver to gmail instead of the internal mailboxes when sending email within the domain.

I ended up getting things working. Thanks all!

(To confirm - I want the exchange server to just send email directly and to only receive subdomain email. I don't want to run anything through google servers, or have to have any special setup or normal email. )
