I have a problem. We have an exchange 5.5 server on an internal LAN, we currently have the domain name tech-pro.com registered and external email to that domain is forwarded via our ISP to an IP address on the external side of our firewall (sidewinder 5.1) which then routes the email to the internal exchange server. Here is the problem, I additionally needed email to be available to our consultants, to do this I registered a sub domain name team.tech-pro.com to the IP address of our web server and setup a specific kind of web based email server on a server co-located at our ISP. This all works great, email to the team account gets there, and email to the regular tech-pro.com account gets where it is supposed to be. UNLESS, and here is the kicker, if you are an internal LAN client mapped to our exchange 5.5 server and you want to send email to the team.tech-pro.com accounts, it gets returned as undeliverable, because I can�t make my exchange server understand that while it is responsible for tech-pro.com, Denver.tech-pro.com and a few other sub-domains, it is not responsible for team.tech-pro.com. I have MX records that point team to a different location on the internal DNS, however, the exchange system never even looks at DNS it assumes that since it is responsible for tech-pro.com it must also be responsible for team.tech-pro.com. I need to allow internal people (mostly sales and recruiters) to send email from their exchange accounts to their consultants (the team addresses). Also, i am going to migrate to exchange 2000 if this is helpful. Would greatly appreciate any insight or direction. Thanks in advance!
