More info here, please read original posting text that follows:
I have tried having the server that has been delivering the mail forward all mail for that subdomain.mydomain.com to the primary server. This causes a mail loop and those messages arenever delivered.
ORIGINAL MESSAGE BELOW
I have 2 Servers with Exchange 5.5(SP3). One is the primary mail server for our domain. I have some accounts on the primary server that have an alternate recipient. Those alternate recipients are set up as custom recipients to cause the mail to deliver to a subdomain for my company.
The mail should come into the primary server to those users and then be re-delivered right back out to the custom recipient. What’s happening is they are coming to the primary server and then being sent to the other exchange server, through our WAN, and that server is actually delivering the message.
I can find no place where I have told it to deliver mail through the secondary system.
Any ideas? This is bothering me because I want to control which system delivers the subdomain’s email.
If you need more information, just ask. I REALLY want to fix this problem soon.
