Server Fault is a question and answer site for professional system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I have configured an "Accepted Domain" for an external domain. Lets call it mydomain.com. My exchange server is sat in an internal network mydomain.local.

I can receive and send emails from @mydomain.com addresses but the recipients seem to see the email as spam. The only thing I can think it would be is that the from server and the email domain are different. In the email header exchange uses: "From: exchange.mydomain.local".

How can I set it up to send from "From: exchange.mydomain.com"? And how can this be applied to hosting more domains on the same exchange seve

You could make use of the Sender Policy Framework. SPF uses DNS to specify which mail servers are legitimate senders of e-mail for a specific domain. Of course to be sure, you'll need to figure out what exactly is making the recipients of your e-mail flag it as spam.

Also, you only mentioned sending e-mail and not receiving. I suppose it could be possible that you never set up an MX record for your alternate domains. Verify that the appropriate MX and A records exist for each domain you wish to send/receive to/from.
