Chapter 2 Configuring Routing and Delivery Features

Note The processing of the domain map feature happens immediately before the RAT and right after Default
Domain is evaluated. Refer to “Understanding the Email Pipeline” in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for
Email Configuration Guide.
A common implementation of the domain map feature is to accept incoming mail for more than one
legacy domain. For example, if your company has acquired another company, you could construct a
domain map on the Cisco IronPort appliance to accept messages for the acquired domain and rewrite the
Envelope Recipients to your company’s current domain.
Note You can configure up to 20,000 separate, unique domain mappings.
Table 2-4 Domain Map Table Example Syntax
Left Side Right Side Comments
username@example.com username2@example.net Only complete address for the
right side
user@.example.com user2@example.net
@example.com user@example.net
or
@example.net
@.example.com user@example.net
In the following example, the domainmap subcommand of the listenerconfig command is used to
create a domain map for the public listener “InboundMail.” Mail for the domain and any subdomain of
oldcompanyname.com is mapped to the domain example.com. The mapping is then printed for
confirmation. Contrast this example with the configuration of placing both domains in the listener’s
RAT: the domain map feature will actually rewrite the Envelope Recipient of joe@oldcomapanyname.com
to joe@example.com, whereas placing the domain oldcompanyname.com in the listener’s RAT will simply
accept the message for joe@oldcompanyname.com and route it without rewriting the Envelope Recipient.
Also, contrast this example with the alias table feature. Alias tables must resolve to an explicit address;
they cannot be constructed to map “any username@domain” to
“the same username@newdomain.”
