We already have send connectors, that is not the issue. The issue is the shared mail domain of company.com. Exchange 2003 allowed IMAP/POP clients to send from the company.com e-mail address but Exchange 2007 is not since it is not listed as a accepted domain. That address is the users primary e-mail address in Exchange. If I add it as a accepted domain and a Exchange user tries to send to a company.com address that is not in Exchange they will get a NDR.

We have hub transport servers and no edge servers. I have set the Default connector to receive anonymous connections as described in several docs. The accepted domains at exchange.company.com. My current issue is testing with IMAP clients. Our users have 2 SMTP addresses, the primary external address and the internal exchange address: Company.com (shared with other systems) - primary mail domain for all users Exchange.company.com - secondary internal address only Currently with 2003 the imap clients point inbound and outbound to their mailbox server and check outbound requires authentication. On the client they have their primary address listed, u...@company.com<mailto:u...@company.com>. When I try to configure a mailbox that is on the 2007 environment, inbound is the CAS server, outbound is the Hub Transport server, e-mail address is the same. The test fails: "Send test e-mail message: Cannon send the message. Verify the e-mail address is in your account properties. The server responded: 550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender." If I go into the imap client and attempt to send a e-mail to a internal person with the u...@company.com<mailto:u...@company.com> address I get a Sys Admin message stating unable to relay. If I try and send to a external address is sits in the Outbox. Now if I update the settings so the e-mail is u...@exchange.company.com<mailto:u...@exchange.company.com> then the test works fine and all outbound messages work. So is there anything I can do to get the HT servers to act the same way as Exchange 2003 servers. I thought about adding the mail domain as a accepted domain and setting it as a internal relay, but there were several docs about having to do other connectors and such. We will be running in a mix of 2003 and 2007 systems for a little while and we have Linux systems that also us the same primary mail domain.
