Re: Cannot find a user's email address in Exchange 5.5 SP4



Andy,

Do you mean that I can create a single Custom Recipient who has multiple
SMTP addresses? I assumed I could only enter one address when creating the
custom recipient.

I did set up myself as the test and it worked with the alternate recipient,
but I cannot even create her Custom Recipient because of the address issue.
I will check on Monday to see if your suggestions work to find her address.

Thank you for the incredibly fast response. These newsgroups are AWESOME!
