Some users on our Exchange box have two e-mail addresses (two domains). For
example, their addresses are: (e-mail address removed) and (e-mail address removed).
The Exchange box is located in domain1, but I need for mail to be delivered
to the same mailbox whether it is addressed to domain1 OR domain2. How do I
set up the MX record to do this? At this point, I have domain2's MX
pointing to the Exchange server on domain1, but mail is timing out when
addressed to domain2.

TIA
 
My problem seems to be with the MX and A records. My DNS server has Lookup
Zones for both domain1 and domain2 (remember, the mailbox is located in
domain1). Domain2's MX record reads: mail.domain2.com (should it read
mail.domain1.com?). The A record has mail.domain2.com and the IP address of
the mail server in domain1. If the MX record should be mail.domain1.com,
what should the A (host) record be?

TIA

Hmm - not for me.
Check your DNS? <vbg>
