Secondary SMTP mail issue

I have my
> domain name x.com . now my company register a new domain name
> y.com We are able to forward the new domain to the old domain website.
> We would like to be able to receive email through the new domain name
>MX record of x.com = mail.x.com( which is external IP address of the

MX record of y.com = mail.y.com which point to mail.x.com

Therefore, all email will go to the same IP address
What I did was in the recipient policy, create a secondary SMTP address for
y.com
and apply to every user. I left the old domain as the primary email so the
user can still

You do not have two accounts - what you did is create an additional email
address with the new domain y.com in the Recipient Policy. When you send
outbound email, the default SMTP address (this is what appears in the mail
field on account's Properties | General tab, and is listed with uppercase
SMTP: in the email addresses tab) is inserted in the From field.

If you need to change this from the current default x.com to the new y.com
doman, you can go into Recipient Policy, select y.com and set it as the
default address).

Outlook's From field does not let you send a different proxy address, only
as a different user.

One way of accomplishing the above could be to create separate mailboxes for
the new domain y.com and give users permissions to the new mailbox so they
can use Send As to send from the new domain, and either have users open the
new mailbox in Outlook OR simply redirect all inbound mail for Y.com to the
X.com account.
