Actually SMTP would probably be a better option, though you could probably make X.400 work, because X.400 is difficult to configure as an external connector. You'd need an Internet Mail Service on a separate box in each of the two organizations. In the abc.com site, the new IMS would have only 123.com as an address space, and would configured to use the 123.com IMS as its smart host. And vice-versa for 123.com's new IMS.
Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP Freelance E-Mail Philosopher Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups!T -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of stooge Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 5:46 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: connecting 2 different org. via x400 to route emials I have a project to do as follows. MY companies name is ABC and was just purchased by a totally separate company called 123. We have been asked to connect our email systems to each other. Our company is in NY and runs a Exchange 5.5 and the other company is in FL and runs Exchange 5.5 or Win2k Exchange (not sure yet). What they want to accomplish is When a user from company ABC sends an email to a user at company 123 it gets routed via x400 instead of going out through the IMC(internet). Remeber that both these companys are totally seperate from each other meaning Different Organizations within Exchange. The question is can this be accomplished? I believe that only way this can be accomplished is by having Exchange servers in the Same Organization and/or other sites Within the same organization. Remember that my company ABC has an Exchange 5.5 server and other company called 123 has either Exchange 5.5 or windows 2000 exchange. I believe its windows 2000 exchange.
