I am not sure that I understand.

1) Are these 2 different NNN ?
2) Are these in different Address books ?

If yes then I do  not see how you can do this.

The only thing that might be possible is to create the user, and simply put in the desired Internet name in the Internet name field in the Person Doc.

I am not sure that mail would route properly though, or that replies would work.

I hope this helps !

Yes It's different NNN and different address books.
When I wrote @abc I thought domain name for instance  abc.com. And, yes, two servers are completely separate (they have ability to connect to each other using cross-cert).
Other options is too consider using forwarding.

I guess we need to understand more of the problem.

1)Why do you want this suer on your server ?
2) Do you want to continue to have the user in the Uganda Notes Domain also ?
3) Do you need just SMTP mail to be on your server or also Notes mail or both.

I hope this helps !
What I described earlier will work for you. The NNN will make no difference.  The SMTP domain name should make no difference, so long as your Uganda Domino SMTP server "recognizes" the user and knows to forward it to the other domain.  Once Uganda accepts it and forwards it, it should set up the recipient using Domino naming, which will resolve correctly, the SMTP domain beocming orrelevant.  And it will recognize the user either through Directory Assistance if set up, or, if not, by having a copy of the person document that specifies the other domain.  Just don't do both Directory Assistance and a copy of the Person document.
