Restrict ability to send to a email domain to certain AD users / groups
Hi there
A quick question.... we are setting up a 3rd party Email2SMS solution. I would like to know if there is any way in Exchange 2003 to restrict the ability to send to a specific domain....ie. so that only certain users / groups are allowed to send to *@domain.com for instance.
Many Thanks

You could achive it with connectors..
Here is an article to create smtp connector.

You can specify domain / user to accept message to and from.

You can setup a connector for *@domain.com, your virtual SMTP service as Bridgehead and there you have also the option to allow or deny users on the recipient filter tab. Restart the services after you changed the settings.

Ok, so I setup an additional SMTP connector on my mail Exchange server that also host the Internet Mail SMTP Connector. I then add the local server as a local bridgehead. Then under Address Space add an SMTP entry for *@domain.com. And then finally configure the Delivery Restrictions for the restrictions.
The Internet Mail SMTP Connector is configured with the following address space:
Type = SMTP
Address = *
Cost = 1
Do I setup the new SMTP connector with also a cost of 1? How will this affect the delivery of any other email via the normal Internet Mail SMTP connector.
Is there no filtering rules I can setup in Exchange 2003, instead of using a SMTP connector?

thats sounds good to me..... one last question.....regarding the Address Space tab
it doesnt seem to like when i put in *@domain.com. Will *domain.com work? or would it be better to put in domain.com?

In E-mail domain, type the SMTP address space without the "at" symbol (@), for example, fourthcoffee.com
In E-mail domain, type the SMTP address space without the "at" symbol (@), for example, fourthcoffee.com
*domain.com means, the connector is responsible for everything, what ends with domain.com
domain.com means, the connector is only responsible for domain.com, but not for @xxxdoamin.com and not for @xx.domain.com
