SYMPTOMS

After you change the SMTP domain from A to B, adding a user to the mail system still shows the previous default domain (A).

CAUSE

Changing the mail domains for the SMTP server does not take effect.

MORE INFORMATION

The default domain does not get changed until you update it specifically (by going to the domain page, setting it, and clicking Apply). Microsoft does not suggest changing from one database to another with different domains.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Commercial Internet System (MCIS) version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
