One Exchange 2003 between trusted domains?

Although you can certainly have multiple inbound SMTP domains for a
single exchange server, is it possible to set it up in this manner but one of
the domains is going to be used by a trusted domain that is not part of the
original Exchange internal based domain.?

     So comapny A has it's domain and built an Exchange 2003 and all is
good.  Comapny B has it's own domain and wants to share the use of the
Company A Exchange server.  Is this possible?   I am sure there will be more
to watch regarding recipient policies but just want to make sure it is
technically workable.  Thanks!!

Sure. Take a look at:
http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/planning-architecture/exchange-2007-smtp-namespace-sharing-different-relay-domain-types.html
It tells you all about internal and external relaying.
Essentially you're going to create a connector so that Exchange
accepts the message and then does what you want with it rather than
just refusing it.

Well I guess this answers part of the question.  What I mean though is two
different Active Directory domains sharing one Exchange server.?  The
allowing in of different SMTP I know can be done but since Exchange uses ADUC
for security I was not sure how it would handle or even allow users from a
different active directory domain to be on the server.

Did you ever get a solution/ answer for this? I have a client that is looking
at the same scenario - one exchange server 2003 in a central domain with full
trusts to a couple of other domains.

Thanks.

No, never got an answer.  As mentioned you can allow multiple SMTP domains
inbound but as far as having one exchange being shared between two trusted
domains I did not get an answer.
