Sendmail/Microsoft Mail gateway

Hello Alpha managers,

Does anyone have experience of setting up sendmail on an Alpha server
OSF/1 3.0) to interface with a Microsoft Mail SMTP gateway?

Basically, the Alpha server acts as the local mail host, accessing the
Internet via a router, relaying mail to and from the Microsoft Mail host.

The Microsoft Mail host has two post offices (because we have exceeded
the maximum number of recipients - 500 only per post office).

The outside world should not care about which post office to address -
the sender should see just one domain - and we should do the forwarding
to the correct post office. However, each post office has a name called
for instance "po1.ms" and "po2.ms".

I have set up BIND on the Alpha server, but BIND does not accept this
syntax when looking up a host name seperated by a full stop.

Does one have to change the names of the Microsoft Mail postoffices in
order to get this working?

A few hints would be appreciated from someone who has experience from
the same kind of setup.

Best regards
