sorry EST, I meant ESM (exchange system manager)<br />
if you have numerous servers this will take some time to replicate based on your policy for that.

I have a domain name called xxx-yy.com pointed to my external firewall IP. My internal domain is named xxxyy.com. I have been tasked with the job of implementing Exchange 2003 internally. (We have been using a hosted solution until now.)<br />
<br />
I have installed and configured Exchange 2003 in domain xxxyy.com. This results in the users primary SMTP address as user1@xxxyy.com.<br />
I have changed the MX records for domain name xxx-yy.com to point to my external firewall IP.<br />
I have opened SMTP 25 and redirected traffic to my internal Exchange servers IP. (Tested successfully via telnet using mail.xxx-yy.com and user1@xxxyy.com)<br />
I have added a second smtp address to each user account so they all have both user1@xxxyy.com and user1@xxx-yy.com addresses.<br />
However, no mail is being delivered to the users accounts. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.<br />

Difference in External Domain name and Internal Domain name causing e-mail to fail in delivery.

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
