I needed go to each user and add a new SMTP email address before the policy applied.

This is just amazing. Thank you for posting this. We also are still using the old version of SBS and I was having difficulty configuring it to host multiple domains.

Thanks for the great, detailed article -- Your postings are 2nd to none.

Got the 2nd domain working OK and did not have the problem with the 2nd domain becoming the default address. The problem I have is that the new E-mail address policy does not get applied to existing or new accounts. I have to go to their mailbox in Exchange Mgmt Console to add the 2nd domain to their E-mail addresses and select their default address. Infact, in trying to debug it I walked through an edit of the standard "Windows SBS Email Address Policy" which rebuild the policy -- I didn't change anything during the walk through, but now when I creat a new user the @.local address is no longer added to the account and the Welcome E-mail cannot be sent to the new user account.

Any suggestions how to fix the standard E-mail policy as well as the 2nd E-mail policy?

This works just fine, but it does not explain how you add the second domains trusted certificate without removing the primary domain's certificate.

Ie. I have a client who has started thier business with one domain and now they have changed their company name and use a new domain. The catch is they want to receive email from both domains and have secure certificates installed on the SBS 2008.

Thanks for the info. I did all this and can send email from the server, but I cannot send to the new domain. I get the error:

550
5.7.1 Unable to relay (in reply to RCPT TO command)

Any help would be appreciated. :-)

I followed the instructions, everything seems tobe right but somehow when I send an email from my personal email to the second domain email user , I get the follwing error

relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts.

Am I supposed to add a new zone and MX record on the SBS2008 server.

My books says exactly the same thing as you, but no DNS changes

My pleasure.. glad it helped.

Excellent, I spent the entire day trying to find this and everything I came across was assuming a large scale Exchange environment with Edge Transport servers, ISA firewalls, crazy configurations. This is great, thanks a million for this.

I believe you just un-check update from recipient policy, and then select the one you want to be primary, and say "Make Primary"

Thanks for the info on hosting multiple domains. In SBS2003 you could add all the domains you want, then make any one the primary for any user (as long as you turned off the 'automatically update email based on recipient policy' box).

This was done from the "email address" tab in AD which is magically missing in SBS2008.

Any info on how to set the primary email address would be greatly appreciated. The 2003 article from 5/2005 doesn't seem to be appropriate.

2008-10-24T08:11:00.000-07:00

Exchange is designed to send as the primary domain and accept as all the other domains. So it's not designed how to do this,

there is some discussion on if this is possible on the One Way to "Send As" using Multiple Domains post, and the original 2003 Hosting Multiple Domains on SBS 2003 post. The discussions on those two posts might be able to help you.

Just the sort of info I was looking for. Thanks Quick question, is there any way for the user to be able to choose which address they send from.

Thanks, I tried to get that across, but apparently have failed. I updated the post with a red -important- note. Hopefully that helps clear things up.

Thanks Cris!

Great info. However in doing this a couple days ago, I found that in creating the new email policy, it made that new email address the default by changing the priority to 1 for that policy without asking me.
So for a half day I was sending mail from the "new" email address.

Just a heads up...no a biggie to change back...
