Re: multiple e-mail address and choosing outbound sending address

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I am having a similar issue and I tried the method in step 1 and it is not
working for me. I was wondering if you could provide a little help.

I added a new recipient policy for my new SMTP domain. I created a Universal
Distribution group and mail enabled it. The account intially had the default
recipient policy apply to it, so I unchecked box to "auto update based on
recipient policies" and then changed the primary SMTP address to reflect the
new SMTP domain.

I switch my AD view to advanced and gave one user "send as" and "send to"
writes for the group. I then added that user as a member of the distribution
group.

Sent an email to that group from an external source and it showed up in the
users inbox, however when the user replies and fills in the address of the
distrubution group in From field, it bounces back saying I do not have
permission to send to this recipient.

I have another universal distribution group with the primary(original) SMTP
domain and I am able to send emails out on its behalf, so I've set this up
before and it works, the only difference between the two are the SMTP domain,
so I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the information. Do you know if any of these methods will
also help or allow the same process of choosing the reply address
while in OWA, or are these fixes only for Outlook?

This is only for Outlook. Check Ivasoft's website to see if ChooseFrom works
for OWA.

My setup is as follows. Single Windows domain with existing users

e-mail addressing and delivery to a single mailbox, but what I then
need to do is to have the ability to send out from this same
Exchange server using either the primary mail address that is
assigned to the user account or for the user to be able to select a
different mail address. I don't think this is possible once an
Exchange server is used. I know with straight Outlook and PST files
this can be done, but once Exchange is used as the backend mail
store I don't believe this option is available.

Actually, the message delivery location has nothing to do with it -
it's the fact that you aren't using Internet mail accounts.



I am trying to not have to setup multiple
users and mailboxes to accomplish this task, since it would be
cumbersome for the user to have to check multiple mail locations.

Please help with ideas or design.


There's no way to send mail as any address other than your default.
Here are some options:

1. DISTRIBUTION GROUP METHOD
Set up each of the email addresses besides the user's main one, in
distribution groups (this way all inbound mail comes into *one*
place per user). Add the user as the sole member of the groups.
Grant the user Send As rights to the distribution groups. The user
can then enter the group name in the From field (in a new message or
reply) to send mail from that address. The user will be able to
identify the receiving address for any inbound mail based on the
display name (which will be that of the group), as opposed to the
display name of the user's mailbox (which is what they'd see if the
email address was an alias of their own mailbox).


2. INTERNET MAIL ACCOUNT METHOD
(can be used in conjunction w/#1, although "send as" rights are not
needed on the group)

Set up a new Internet mail account in Outlook...use a bogus address
for the POP3 server, and the Exchange server for SMTP. Configure
authentication to the SMTP server (unless you allow all relay from
your local subnet, etc). This Internet mail account should specify
the identical display name as the mailbox - but use the specific
SMTP address from which they want to send mail. You must leave
Exchange as the default account in the profile.

Next, configure Outlook never to check this mail acount for incoming
mail, ever. Do this in Tools | Send/receive settings.....pick the
account, and in the properties, untick the obvious box.

The user can then use the Accounts button in a new message or
reply/forward, to control whether mail goes out through the default
(Exchange) or the Internet Mail account settings. They will always
have to select this - it won't "pick up" the right email address
based on a reply, etc.

This is a bit clumsy, and certainly does not scale well, but it
works. Note that if you've enabled sender filtering in ESM (blocking
@yourdomain.com for each of your domains, to prevent spoofing) then
this won't work.


3. SERVER SIDE METHOD
For anything beyond one / two users, check out ChooseFrom at
www.ivasoft.biz.

Those are pretty much your only options. None is ideal, but they all
do work.


Thanks
