Multiple Domain on one 2003 exchange server

Our company has three divisions.
abc.com
bcd.com
cde.com

Most of our employees work in more than on division, and need to keep email
from different division separate. Currently my exchange server handles email
for abc.com. We use swishmail for bcd.com, and we have just started cde.com
and don't have a solution yet. Please let me know what you all think is the
bet way to handle this type of scenerio. Even if it means purchasing
equipment/software.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Exchange can handled multiple SMTP Domains. In Exchange 2003 just add them
to your recipient policies.

More information:

If you want to know other functions of Recipient Policies check:

In addition to Oliver's reply, note that you can send mail only from the
default SMTP address specified in your profile, although you can *receive*
mail sent to any address therein.

You could check out Ivasoft.biz for some addins that may make this work for
you, though. I do think centralizing everyone on one mail server platform is
a good idea.

Most of our users have blackberrys or Motorola Qs. How would I go about
setting them up. I understand that the blackberry can only have one exchange
account delivered from the BES, but will I be able to add email accounts into
the webmail setting on the phones?

Account, yes. But one account can have multiple SMTP addresses defined
within it. I can receive mail sent to multiple aliases on multiple domains.
I just can't send from anything other than my default SMTP address.

Webmail? Not sure what you mean; you just mentioned BES. You could set up
each address as a different mailbox and have the BB/WM users access those
via IMAP, but that's a huge klugey pain in the ___ and I wouldn't go there.
