    company name change

    Our company name is changing  - as is the domain name.  We are using Mercury/32 v4.5 as out mail server and Pegasus as the e-mail client on Windows XP pro

     I would like to know the best way to:

    1) Keep getting mail (for the time being) at the old domain based addresses (ie mymail@old_domain.com)

    2) start getting mail from the new domain based addresses (ie mymail@new_domain.com)

     What I've read so far seems to suggest using aliases - but I'm not entirely sure I'm looking at this correctly.

    thank you for any help

    Michele

    Mercury can receive mails for several domains. As long as the user part of the address is the same you won't need any aliases. Just point the MX record for the new domain to the Mercury server, and add the new domain in Core configuration, Local domains.

    THAT'S IT? Big Smile

     
    That is the easiest thing I have had to do in connection with this name change!

    You will also need to get your users to change their FROM address in their clients.

    Re: company name change

    Yeah, I was ready for that part (tedious, but not really difficult).

     I can not believe how easy this was.  David Harris ROCKS!

    And thanks for the help, I do appreciate it.
