Implementing a new domain

[Maddiegirl]

with exchange 2003. We are running into a problem. The new domain can send email to the exchange 5.5 domain just fine, but the exchange 5.5 domain (which points inbound and outbound email to our proxmox host) cannot send to the new exchange 2003 ad domain.

We added the new servers in the trusted networks on the proxmox server. We also added the new server in the transports. We added a relay with a new license key.

However we cannot get this to work. Please help.

Thanks.

Tammy

hi tammy,

can you describe your email network setup a bit more detailed, also what is working and what is not working - please also provide useful logs from the failed email sending. (exchange smtp and proxmox).

how did your email setup worked before, what do you changed and why?

Hi Tom.

We are implementing AD and exchange 2003. We are testing the emailing between the two domains so that we can migrate our users to the new domain and server eventually.

Currently with the old set up:

We have exchange 5.5 servers that use the proxmox server as it's inbound and out bound relays....then the go on to an outside email server who's only purpose is to protect the internal server.

Now...the new domain/server can email the old domain/server without issue. However, the old domain/server cannot email the new domain/server. We see it in the proxmox logs, but then disappears and never makes the connection to come back in.

On proxmox we have requested a new key and added it to add newdomain.local as a mail relay. We have also added the server to the trusted ips list in proxmox and added it to the transports.

hi tammy,
without the detailed error messages/log files I cannot help in detail. You have to make sure that the email flow is sent to the right servers, proxmox can send different mail domains to different servers (see "mail proxy/transports") if the emails are stopped somewhere collect the log files.

Where do I find these?

hi,
all proxmox logs are stored under /var/log/syslog
(for every day, a new file is created. after 7 days the oldest log file will be deleted)

or for a short view, you can see the logs also on the web interface.
