How can I switch my primary and secondary Internet domains?

I have registered two Internet domains in my company -- abc.com and def.com. I created a global domain record -- abc.com as the primary and def.com as the secondary. Users receive mail through both addresses user@abc.com and user@def.com.

But when I change the order to make def.com the primary and abc.com the secondary, user@def.com's email is being blocked. The error says "unable to relay mail." Def.com is not an external domain.

I need to migrate all users to user@def.com and secondary as user@abc.com.
It sounds like some of your relay fields are not set up completely. Check your server configuration document. Wherever you see abc.com in relay fields, you should add def.com.
