Exchange mailbox shows only primary display name, loses original 'sent to'

IS THERE A WAY TO GET EXCHANGE 2003 TO DISPLAY (IN OUTLOOK) THE ORIGINAL
'SENT TO' ADDRESS (WHEN A SINGLE EXCH MBX HAS MANY SMTP ADDRESSES) INSTEAD
OF DISPLAYING ALL EMAIL AS SENT TO THE 'DISPLAY NAME' IN THE USER ACCOUNT
UNDER ACTIVE DIRECTORY???


Config: plain old Exchange 2003 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Server.

Need to be able to display the original 'display' names of emails sent to a
single Exch mailbox.

Single mailbox has about 10 smtp addresses - these are xaccount names (from
subscriptions). Mail to each xaccount must be forwarded to different users,
and the user must see what the original 'sent to' name is (since some users
may and do get forwarded emails from diff accounts, and must sort/process
differently).

Currently have set up as separate mailboxes but this is very cumbersome to
manage as the list of forwarded-to recipients constantly changing and access
to rule via outlook requires many Outlook restarts, profiles, etc.


Thanks very much!! Rich.


I may have misunderstood the answer here but try this for an
explanation and you can tell me what you really meant if the answer is
way off.

When a message arrives in Exchange the address is resolved to a user
name and then sent to that mailbox. That mailbox can only have one
Display Name so even though you do have many addresses you would need
to look at the headers to see what smtp address the messages was
intended for.

The ugly workaround for this is to create 10 user accounts, mail
enable them with the address you want and then forward the mail to the
destination account you want (an 11th account?) You don't tick the
"send to both...." tickbox and you then hide the mailbox from the
address book so that you only see the 11th account.
