Are two internet domains on one domino server possible?

Hi there,

we plan to start a new company (@newcompany.de) which will reside in the offices and IT-infrastructure of our old company @oldcompany.de). Some colleagues will work for both companys, so they need to be able to send and receive mails with both internet domains. There is no restriction like “all mails to yahoo should be send from newcompany.de”. I have no test server at hand so before I make changes to the system I would like to know the solution works.

Would this work?

  1. Each person gets 2 IDs and person documents in the directory. In one person document there’s username@oldcompany.de as internet address, in the other it’s username@newcompany.de

  2. The clients will receive location documents which force the use of a specific ID, thus switching between old and new company. With a speaking name of the location document, the user can see, with which ID he is working at the moment.

Would I need to apply changes to the global domain document? Or do you know an entirely different solution?

Regards, Olaf

Incredible it’s so easy…

Theres 2 places to apply changes:

  1. Global domain document in domino directory:

That’s the place to configure how domino handles incoming SMTP-mail. The field “Local primary Internet domain” contains oldcompany.de and the field “Alternate Internet domain aliases” contains newcompany.de

The same person can than be reached via both domains.

  1. Location documents:

That’s the place to configure how domino handles outgoing SMTP-mail.

Excerpt from the help-database: If you want to use two identities over the Internet, create two locations with different names, and use different e-mail addresses for each.

That’s all I needed to configure and it’s working perfectly.
