You should be able to just do domain.com and it will pick up any
child domains, unless you have a child that needs special
priveledges.

Subject: [ActiveDir] exchange confusion(OT)
I have a contact with the addy of [EMAIL PROTECTED].
I created a smtp connector with an address space of *.domain.com.
when exchange 2k sends an email destined for [EMAIL PROTECTED] thru
that smtp connector, it rewrites the addy in the RCPT TO: as [EMAIL PROTECTED], taking out the
servename.
i see this in the smtp logs on the server and the remote server dosen't
accept mail to that addy and is saying "relay not allowed".
Now, my question-
why is exchange rewriting the address just because i'm using a wildcard in
the connector address space?
is this by design?
What if i wanted a connector going to every domain under domain.com like subdomain.domain.com and childdomain.domain.com ?
wouldn't i just create a connector with an address space of
*.domain.com?
should exchange 2k just forward the email without changing the RCPT TO:
headers?
am i wrong and clueless as usual?
what am i missing?
i'm running Exchange 2k post sp3 rollup in mixed mode(but no exchange 5.5
servers or ADC).
Thanks alot
