We have a remote site which is a sub-domain of our network and has its own exchange server. However, we want all our sites to have a common email address style, so we have the remote users set up on our Exchange box with mail addresses in the common style but with alternate recipient set to their actual address on their own server. (We don't use a site connector because of a slow and expensive link, on which we try and minimise time on-line)
Messy but it works in that all messages arriving for [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> are correctly received by [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and all messages sent appear to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> , which is our objective. However, if the remote user sends a message which contains an error ( mistyped address is the commonest), the main site Exchange system, which is the ultimate delivery agent of our network and therefore the one that receives the error from outside) sends the usual error message to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user which is _not_ forwarded to the remote recipient. We can see why it might happen but not how to get around it.... Any pointers (or even other solutions to the main objective) ??
