Outlook 2007 sending emails to @local

[Mintsoft]

Afternoon,

 

I've got an alias on "IMail" our Mail server application so the students can email things like faultdesk@local rather than moorlands.staffs.sch.uk. But if you try and email @local in outlook 2007 it says its an unrecognised Address. So I assume theres some auto checking thing in it. I've disabled "Automatic Name Checking" in Advanced Email Options, but its made no difference. Any ideas anyone?

 

Cheers

Rob
