Re: Alias email...

Well, you know what happens when you give out your real email address
- you give it to everyone including the spammers! What I'm trying to
do is to create a secondary email account that I can give out in
public and then filter (and by filter I mean setting up a safe sender
list where I receive messages from identified sources only) messages
to remove any spam and only forward valid emails through to my real
address! This is exactly what you would do if using a web host - you
would probably want to create a "catch-all" address that would then
forward only valid mails to your real address and drop everything
else.

No, I would set up e-mail addresses I planned to use, and not use a
catch-all.

So I guess my question really is if this can be done in
Exchange or if I have to use a third party software like a spam
blocker etc.

Any forwarding you do on the server is going to forward everything.
Your company might consider outsourcing the spam filtering to a third party
such as MailFoundry or Postini.
Or look at www.vamsoft.com - ORF does a good job of keeping much of the
garbage out.

I'm not sure what you mean.
You can create a distribution group, a mailbox, an AD contact, with
the 'alias' address you wish. "Filter" doesn't make sense to me...
