1. Front end server should not be in the DMZ.

2. You need to add the new domain in the email address policies in ESM.

Check your DNS

Add  a second domain in the recipient Policy email address policy section of exchange system manager

test internally to send to a user with the second internal email address domain.
Ensure that the user as a an email address for the second email domain. Note the policy can automatically add email addresses for the new domain to all our users of you want.

test external in
In the new external DNS zone (second.com) create a MX RECORD and point it at your existing mail server name e.g. "mail.first.com." (include the final full stop to tell DNS it is a fully qualified DNS name)

if my existing mx record is mail.first.com
i need to create a new mx record for the new domain
should it be "mail.second.com" pointing to the same ip as my original mx record
or should it be "mail.first.com" that allready exists for my original domain?

i looked at my recipient policy to add the new domain and my exiting policy
looks like this:
SMTP   %g .%s@mydomain.com
smtp    %g%1s@mydomain.com

ive never sennn this before can anyone share some light
usually i would expect @mydomain.com
They are variables.
%g = given name
%s = surname
%1s = 1st letter if surname
If = of
