Can I block Email from a domain if it is also send to a spesific domain also.
Hello everyone,
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer; I have been going nuts trying to get this to work.
I have a customer that has two companies in the same office, because the type of companies they are for compliancy reasons this is what they would like: If someone emails company “X” and also company “Y” in the same email it rejects (or doesn’t deliver, or give an NDR, ect.) on both domains. I take care of both domains and both right now are running SBS 2003 current on updates, and of course exchange 2003 also current on updates.
Right now I have a server side rule (from outlook) in place that deletes a message and returns an email to the sender informing them that the email was not received by either domain. I thought this was the end solution, I tested it and it seemed to work; however I since found out the rule will only work if both domain X & Y are in the “To:” box, it will not stop any email on either domain if X is in “Cc:” and Y is in the “To:”
To address the comment I’m sure that will come up, yes both are running SBS; however both domains are completely segregated from the demark on (network wise).
Again thanks for any help anyone can offer.

there is no way to do this natively with exchange 2003 you will need 2007/2010 to do it

Thank you for your responses.
Weinberk, both companies should stop the email, from any domain if both are listed as any recipients. so if there is a way to stop the email by looking in the header to stop the email it would work out perfect; however I am not sure how to do that, is it something easy to do? Should i just do a quick Google search, or do you have a link to an article?
BTW the rule is:
when a message arrives
if sent to (created contacts for opposing company)
delete it (one domain will also reply with an email to inform sender)

You won't be sorry with ASSP. SUPER powerful, just takes a while to learn. I suggest setting up ONE multihomed (IP) ASSP machine for both domains, have all mail go through that SINGLE server, but proxy appropriately based on the domain (or inbound IP).
Should company X be able to receive email from company Y? If not, you could just have the rule be to search for company Y in the headers of the email (for users with company x and vice versa for company Y).
You could also write an event sync, but that get's complicated.
