Release: 8.5.1

Because the connector from Exchange to Domino is no longer being supported by Microsoft and my company is not big enough to merit the purchase of a 3rd party app, we've been asked to route all mail between Domino and Exchange via SMTP.

I'm a former full-time admin and I maintain our current environment even though I'm also the developer. I haven't touched mail routing in many years so I thought I would double check here to make sure that I am doing the right thing.

We currently have a Foreign Domain doc in our NAB that points to the foreign domain "Exchange". This doc points to the server that has exchange.box and exchange.box. We currently have a secondary address book that has all of the exchange book entries.

Each person doc in this secondary address book has "Exchange" as the domain and their internal exchange name as the full name (user/domain/company). Am I better off removing the "exchange" domain in the person doc and inserting their external exchange address (user@company.com)? Or is there something I can do in the foreign domain rule that could be changed to handle this? I can't imagine what that would be but I thought I would ask :-).

Thank you very much in advance!
