Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 : Creating and Managing Accepted Domains (part 2) - Creating Accepted Domains

In the Exchange Management Console, expand the Organization Configuration node, and select the Hub Transport node.

On the Accepted Domains tab, right-click an open area of the details pane, and then select New Accepted Domain. This starts the New Accepted Domain Wizard, as shown in Figure 2.

On the New Accepted Domain page, use the Name text box to identify the accepted domain. You can use a descriptive name that identifies the purpose of the accepted domain or simply enter the actual SMTP domain name.

In the Accepted Domain text box, type the SMTP domain name for which the Exchange organization will accept e-mail messages. If you want to accept e-mail for the specified domain only, enter the full domain name, such as adatum.com. If you want to accept e-mail for the specified domain and child domains, type * (a wildcard character), then a period, and then the domain name, such as *.adatum.com.
