Creating a remote domain using the Exchange Management shell

Create the remote domain for the SMTP address to which the Exchange Server will send journal mail. The remote domain must conform to the following guidelines:

  • The domain must not exist in your Exchange organization.

  • The domain must not be one that can be resolved or routed to from inside or outside of your organization.

A suitable example domain might be evsmtp.local.

To create a remote domain

  1. Open the Exchange Management shell, and enter the following command:

    New-RemoteDomain -DomainName <domain name> -Name "<domain description>"

    where

    <domain name> is the domain, for example, evsmtp.local.

    <domain description> describes what the domain is used for, for example, "SMTP Archiving".

  2. Enter the following command to enable auto-forwarding and disabled TNEF encoding:

    Get-RemoteDomain | Where {$_.DomainName -eq "<domain name>"} | Set-RemoteDomain -TNEFEnabled $false -AutoForwardEnabled $true

  3. Enter the following command to verify the settings:

    Get-RemoteDomain | Where {$_.DomainName -eq "<domain name>"} | Format-table Name, DomainName, TNEFEnabled, AutoForwardEnabled
