I had a customer who had Lotus Notes in-house and we hosted Exchange 2000 for them. They had 150 users on Exchange and a bunch more on LN.
They also had an NT Mail server in-house (Gordano NT Mail). MX records were pointing to NT Mail server. NT Mail server had a routing table which defined the Exchange users, if a message came to an Exchange user - it was relayed to our Exchange environment. Otherwise it was given to LN. On Exchange side, we had a recipient policy for their domain name with the option UNselected "this Exchange organization is responsible for all mail delivery to this address". And we had an SMTP connector with their domain name in the Address Space and it pointed to their NT Mail server. The way all this worked - if Exchange finds an SMTP address locally, it keeps the message. If it does not - it shoots it to NT Mail. I think we also defined that NTMail server as a smart host in the properties of the Default SMTP Virtual Server. There was no GAL synchronization. They just sent mail to each other by typing their SMTP addresses. I guess for more $$$ we could have put together some kind of dir synch. -----Original Message----- From: Ronk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 5:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 2000 & Domino R5 All I bringing up a new Exchange 2k server to replace my Notes server but am having a issue with my boss. He wants to keep both systems alive and running together with the same email addresses ands same domain name. He wants to just migrate a few people at a time into the new exchange server, while the others stay on Notes until it is time for their move. I am not sure how to approach this?? I know that I can't use the same MX record that we have for the notes server because it will not know what server to go to. We have a domain name of mile-high.com and email addresses are [EMAIL PROTECTED], he wants to keep the same addressing for the email. I am able to send to the outside world with the new exchange account but can't receive from the outside. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?? I know I could use a notes connector but seems like alot of wasted time when the server is going to go away. Any Ideas are appreciated.
