[BlueOnyx:09718] Re: BO 5107R - Email sent to user1 at domain1.com diverted to user1 at domain2.com

[Roy Urick]

We do that at our company. One of our units spun off into a separate 
entity, and rather than recreate another domain, re-setup all of the 
users' accounts, create new outlook profiles on dozens of PCs, etc.  we 
simply added the new domain as a mail alias (virtual site/services/email 
settings)  on the server and changed the Outlook email address field to 
reflect the new domain for the user.

Now all of the new email addresses work under the old accounts, and 
everybody is  happy.   bob at maindomain.com also works as bob at spinoff.com 
and vice versa (they are the same physical mailbox).

It has an unfortunate side-effect that now users that dont work for the 
spin-off also in theory have a valid spin-off domain mail address, but 
its minor.

Hope that helps.
