Question : Domino - Second Domain setting up email aliases and inboxes

We have a mail server in-house with MX records for our domain - let's call it 'abc.com' - pointing to this servers ext IP. We have a global domain document which specifies the Global Domain Name accordingly as 'abc' without the .com.

We have now bought another company which has a different mail domain with a different suffix too. Let's call that 'xyz.org.uk'.

We require to run both domains to be live in parallel and the staff in our company to receive both email for their .com and their .org.uk on their Notes clients. This does not need be the same mailfile but it would make it easier. The user must be able to respond using each particular alias as we must not use one domain to respond to the other domain mail even though the people behind are the same...

I have set up the alias in the Global Domain document so the abc.com is the Local primary Internet domain and the xyz.org.uk is an Alternate Internet domain alias.

MQ: How do I setup the mail configuration in the directory so that the mail for both domains land in the appropriate inbox, and more importantly how will the user be able to reply (with corresponding reply-to address) with the alias appropriately to the domain the mail was addressed to?

Many thanks
capt.

Answer : Domino - Second Domain setting up email aliases and inboxes

Yes, you could have two or more Global domain documents on one server. However, I don't see who it would help you.

Let's say you have Global domain document with primary domain abc.com and aliases uk.abc.com and eu.abc.com and another Global Domain document with primary domain xyz.com and alias uk.xyz.com. In this case if user has email address:

abc.com - user would be able to receive mail as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
uk.abc.com - user would be able to receive mail only as uk.abc.com
xyz.com - user would be able to receive mail as xyz.com and uk.xyz.com
uk.xyz.com - user would be able to receive mail only as uk.xyz.com
eu.xyz.com - mail would be rejected.
