But sure, you can share smtp address spaces between different Exchange servers. You didn't say the version of Exchange, so use that search term "share smtp address space" on support.microsoft.com and technet.microsoft.com. Regards, Michael B.

FRED has mandated that all mailboxes will be moved to their servers on FRED.com. JOE.com will keep their AD domain, just lose their email servers. FRED has also mandated that all former JOE.com mailbox users will have an alias address of @JOE.com so they won't miss any emails that may come from important sources, such has the u s gubernment. According to what I know...the only way to do this is to move everyone at the same time and change the MX records to point JOE.com email to the FRED.com Exchange servers. But FRED.com come wants to make the move over a period of 4 weeks. So FRED.com has mandated that I ask the wise ones on this exchange...is there a way to do this while keeping both Exchange servers up during the 4 week transition period? Larry C.
