dns forwarding

[Kevin D. Goodknecht Sr. [MVP]]

hello,

I am using a w2k dns server with multiple domains, iis and an imail
mail server. . my question is without using iis or any mail server
settings is it possible to setup dns so that companyA and companyB
receive the same mails and have companyA's web site.
for example if a mail for companyA arrives is goes directly to
companyB's mailboxes. companyB should not have any mailboxes and does
not need to have a web site.

The subject line does not match the question, and the question is confusing.
But I'll give it a shot at what I think you are asking.

Point the MX record for both domains to the same SMTP server.
Example.
companyA
@ MX mail.companyA.com

companyB
@ MX mail.companyA.com

Then set the mailbox on the Imail virtual server to accept mail for both
domains. For information on doing that check Imail's documentation.
