Send Connectors for Multiple Domains
I have Exchange Server 2007 setup to receive emails for 2 domains. When email goes out for one of those 2 domains I need it to go out on its own send connector. The reason - so I can set the HELO or EHLO response to the appropriate domain name.
Is this possible?
Is this possible?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The ISP or whoever is receiving the email doesn't care who the email has come from.
As long as the sending server is setup correctly with matching DNS, forward DNS and ehlo. SenderID is one of those nice to have, but does not stop your email from flowing. It is like SPF, another nice idea but isn't used enough. None of the major email providers will block legitimate email, their customers will leave in their droves.
I don't deploy Sender ID or SPF on any Exchange deployment I do, and have no problems getting email delivered to aol.com - which is the most difficult one to get delivered to.
So in your scenario - mail.domainb.com wouldn't exist. The MX records for domainb.com would be mail.domainb.com. I have six domains on my home Exchange server, all of which have identical MX records. Most hosting companies will have all of their domains going to the same server.

i.e Say that I have 2 domains that I receive and send mail from: mail.mydomainA.com and mail.mydomainB.com. I use the same IP and setup a rev DNS for them. Then I route them both out through mail.mydomainA.com. If I send a message from mail.mydomainB.com and an ISP does a sender ID lookup and or HELO or EHLO, they will get mail.mydomainA.com and reject it. (ISP's that are starting to use this form of spam protection: Hotmail, AOL, MSN, Google...)
This has been an thorn in my side for several of my customers who have Exchange Servers with multiple domain names.
Is my line of reasoning correct or am I missing something?
