I support a company that has three domain names pointed to the same location. All three addresses bring up the default webpage.

My DC is a Win2K server with Excahnge 2K mail. I can access the web mail using any of the three domain names.

Butnow I'd like for the users to be able to use the other domain names as e-mail addresses on the same exchange server. Our DNS records have been updated to point mail with all three extensions on it to the same server.

I've also edited each of theusers to use those names as alias, e.g.
Reply SMTP - bob@techstocks.com
alias SMTP - bob@techstocks.org

The problem is that no mail other than the one with the original domain name are getting through.

What do I still need to do to make bob's mail come via 3 different e-mail extensions into one mailbox that Bob will view using Outlook 2000?

Do I need to make a whole new administrative group? Add another virtual server under the First Administrative Group, or what?

You problem does sound to be DNS related. Do messages sent to all 3 email addresses make it to the Exchange server? I am trying to find out if the problem exist in the Exchange server or in the routing. If the traffic is making it to the Exchange server then the problem lies in the Exchange server's routing of email. However I believe that your problem exists in the DNS which could be verified by the messages not making it to the Exchange server.

If this is the case double check all you DNS records (both A and MX). Also make sure that DNS is being replicated with the parent servers (this may require a call to your ISP)
