Creating a Domain
You can create two types of domains in Microsoft SMTP Service: alias and remote. Alias domains allow you to create secondary domains that point to the default domain and use its settings, including the Drop Directory. Any message sent to an alias domain is stamped with the default domain name.
Remote domains can be set for domains you commonly send messages to. For each remote domain, you can set a predetermined delivery route and require that TLS be used on all connections to the domain. You can also use a wildcard character in the name so that all inclusive domains for the domain youÆre creating use the same settings.
Use an asterisk (*) as the first character, followed by a period (.).
For example, you can use the asterisk as a wildcard in the following format:
*.CompanyA.com
