Is it possible to make exchange 2010 send email out from more than one email domain?
Hi,
I've got an Exchange 2010 server, with a few emails domains configured. I can receive emails on each email domain.
I can use the FROM box in Outlook to set the sender to any of the Email domains but when a recipient recieves the email it's always from the default Reply email domain.
Is it possible to send emails showing an alternative email domain?
i.e. userA@Domain1.com (the default domain) has userA@domain2.com and userA@domain3.com email addresses
User A wants to send an email that appears that it's from his userA@domaind.com address...

It is internal or external emails? If external email, you must have Edge Transport server which have address rewriting capability.
For internal, i don't think so.

Yes it is possible but if you have one email account with multiple email addresses (aliases) in the account, then only the primary email address of that account will be shown when you send.
You can setup separate email accounts for each user for each domain and then the problem will go away or you can tweak Outlook to send from the alias accounts but not to receive from them or you will end up in an infinite loop.

Thanks for your emails. Just to clarify
I have one AD domain, several Email domains.
suriyaehnop - I only have one Email server and do not have the budget for another.
Alan - Thats my problem. I can send ok but whatever domain I use it just shows the recipient as the default reply domain. Can i create seperate email accounts if I just have one AD domain? I can't give a user more than one email box...
ktaczala - Can I setup IMAP/POP to show in the same Outlook client as the main SMTP mailbox? IF so how?
IS there any exchange addin or other workaround?

If you are tied to one mailbox per user, then have a read of the following link:

Some Exchange Admins frown upon this, but it is a working solution.
Just make damn sure you disable the Receive part for each account.

I'm not sure if I'm tied or not, just that when I try to create a new mailbox on the Exchange server it asks for either a new account or allows me to select an AD account that hasnt got a mailbox.
Or are you saying to create a new user (AD) account, set a mailbox for that and allow send as rights to this account for the actual user?

I've setup a pop3 account. How do I stop email from appearing in both the pop3 account and the exchange account?
Configure the Send/Receive Groups and untick the Receive check box (as per the article I linked you to).

Thanks Alan. Missed that bit.

Right this is what I understand so far
It seems that:
A) You cant set an email to have a specific FROM email address using standard Exchange configuration.
B) You can do this if you setup POP3 on the server and then setup an POP3 account in Outlook for the User.
C) You can do this if you create another AD account with a mail box using an alternative reply domain and then giving the user send-as rights to that account.
D) you can if you use a 3rd part utility (at a cost).
OK?

You can't set the Exchange Reply Address using an Exchange account as it will use the Default address as per the Exchange account on the Exchange Server.
If you setup a POP account on the server that still requires a separate mailbox / AD account and then you may as well setup a second Exchange account in the first place and not use POP3 which is a downgrade from an Exchange account.
Send-As rights also works, but then you are still setting up multiple accounts.
Using the POP account option in Outlook to configure the additional email aliases of the primary account it a free workaround - as long as you configure things carefully.
Or you can buy a 3rd party utility - which isn't really necessary, but is also a viable solution.

"You can't set the Exchange Reply Address using an Exchange account as it will use the Default address as per the Exchange account on the Exchange Server."
Couldnt you take off the tick for "Automatically update email addressed based on email addres policy" and then set the other email domain as the reply address for the new account, then setup send-as rights to it for the actual user?

OK Many thanks Alan.

Thanks All. Looks like there are 3 options/workarounds, none are ideal but they will achieve the result needed.
THis has given me enough info to explain the issues/risks should the organisation decide to use multiple outward email domains.
Just can't understand why Exchange doesnt have this functionality built it!

return addresses would be user1@domain1.com and user2@gmail.com respectively
