SUMMARY
This article describes how to receive messages from two Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) domains in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server. For example, you can use the procedure described in this article if you change your organization name from companya to companyb, and you use companyb.com as your SMTP domain name instead of companya.com. You may need to keep the previous domain name for a few months in case customers send e-mail messages to the previous e-mail addresses.
