Exhange 2007 Send Connector
Hi,
We have two sites. One (London) using Lotus Notes, and another (NYC) using Exchange 2007. They both want to share the same external domain for email. Let's say company.com.
Am I correct in stating that if we change the MX to the Exchange 2007 server, set company.com as the default address for users, we can then setup a send connector to send any mail for users not known on that box to the Lotus Notes server? If so, can someone talk me though how to setup the connector using the console?
Many thanks

Thank you. Funnily enough, have just read that, but I get a local loop delivery error on the message.
Any ideas?

Hello,
One thing the msexchange.org article fails to address is how to route mail between the two systems - in your case Exchange 2007 and Lotus Domino. When an Exchange users sends an email to a Lotus user, it will route fine because Exchange is not authoritative for the company.com domain but if a Lotus user sends an email to a company.com Exchange mailbox, it will fail becuase Lotus is authoritative for the company.com domain and the address does not exist in Lotus. To get around this issue, you need a second domain, which you setup on the Exchange server. You then need to create contacts (or the Domino equivalent of contacts) on the Domino server for all your Exchange mail-enabled objects. The contacts will have the secondary SMTP domain as a primary address and also have the company.com address assoiated with it.

Thanks, have followed all these, but am getting failure messages with "local loop was detected" any ideas?
Have you setup your Domino server to be authoritative for the SMTP namespace?

Not yet, but this is from the Exchange server TO the Domino server. The domain is setup as an internal relay on the exchange server. Is this correct?
