Access Your Mail & Migrate It Too

ExchangeDefender SplitMX was designed to enable seamless migrations to ExchangeDefender Exchange 2010 without losing any email. Typically businesses schedule migrations around long weekends to make sure no email is lost during the MX record change and migration from the old email environment to the new mail hosting provider.

Features:

  • SplitMX functions as an inbound mail proxy, duplicating messages and sending one copy to the existing infrastructure and another the new hosted Exchange 2010 mailbox.
  • It's cloud based so it doesn't require any software installation. Because it delivers mail seamlessly to multiple destinations no mail is lost during the migration.
  • Built into ExchangeDefender, quick to deploy and manage!

With ExchangeDefender SplitMX the inbound mail is copied to both the existing infrastructure and the new hosted mailboxes, allowing for a seamless transition without email loss.


How It Works

Step 1: Order and configure your ExchangeDefender Exchange 2010 mailboxes at support.ownwebnow.com.


Step 2: Login to admin.exchangedefender.com and enable SplitMX. You will need the IP address of your existing mail server.


Step 3: Change your MX record to splitmx.exchangedefender.com. Because your mail will be delivered to the existing infrastructure and to the hosted Exchange 2010, you can make this change at any time.


Step 4: After you have finished your migration, point the MX to inboud30.exchangedefender.com and turn off SplitMX.
