moving exchange to new server

Question
-
Hi,
on weekend I have move some of the user to new domain but some of the are getting emails from outside but when they get email from within company it bounce back saying this user does not existed.
e.g domain is main domain and domain 2 is our other partners, we are moving users from domain 2 to our domain so i have linked domain and domain 2 for each.
When user send email to domain 2 it checks for user if it can't find then it pass onto domain to ask is this user on your exchange.
I checked the exchange server to see if the message was sent where i can see it has been send but it was saying user not found.
its giving me ou address which i can't seem to find anywhere on domain 2.
anyone know why this would be happening.

Internally Exchange doesn't use the SMTP address. It uses an X.400 address. If the users are replying to old email then the email is going to fail.
Do the old user accounts still exist? If so then a contact to forward to the new accounts will work.

You will still have problems with people replying to old email though.
This article from the SBS team explains the issue.
