Re: Need Help with Setting Primary Email Address

This gets tricky. Here are three alternative solutions, the first two from
David Barnes, the last from MS CSS.

If we can get Lanwench's attention, she will most likely have two or three
other ways. <g> or not like the idea at all. <bg>

<snip>
two routes/options.
Public folder or distribution list

1/ Public folder
Remove the address 'sales' from your mailbox
run exchange client address updates
rebuild the GAL
Create Public folder called 'sales'
Mail enable folder and verify it gets the address 'sales@'
set appropriate permissions, leaving anonymous to contribute
Make sure the PF address/name is visible in the GAL
grant 'sendas' for your user
run exchange client address updates
rebuild the GAL
test folder correctly recieves external e-mail to sales@
in outlook you should be able to click on the 'from' button and pick the PF
'sales'


2/ distribution list
Remove the address 'sales' from your mailbox
run exchange client address updates
rebuild the GAL
Create distribution list (DL) called 'sales' setting your mailbox as the
only recipient
verify it gets the address 'sales@'
grant 'sendas' on this DL for your user
run exchange client address updates
rebuild the GAL
test DL correctly recieves external e-mail to sales@ and dumps it in your
mbx
in outlook you should be able to click on the 'from' button and pick the DL
'sales'

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

If you send out e-mail from address sales@xxxxxxxxxxxx or
service@xxxxxxxxxxxx, you get error:

You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance,
contact your system administrator.

This is expected behavior because you don't have "send as" right for sales
or service account.

To fix this, please try the following:

Note: Suppose you created accounts for sales and services in ADUC.

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and
then click "Active Directory Users and Computers".
2. On the View menu, click to select Advanced Features.
3. In the console tree, go to Domail.local\My Buniness\Users\SBSUsers
4. In the right pane, right-click sales(service)then click Properties.
5. On the security tab, click Add, and then type the name of the your
account.
7. Click Check your user account to verify the name, and then click OK.
8. Verify that user is selected, and then click to select the Send As.
9. Quit Active Directory Users and Computers.

Step 2: Send out e-mail with account account@xxxxxxxxxxxx

1. Logon workstation with your account.
2. Create a new e-mail.
3. Fill in sales@xxxxxxxxxxxx or service@xxxxxxxxxxxx in the From field. If
you cannot see From, please click View/From Field.
4. Send out e-mail.

Thanks Larry! Some stupid small thing again, yet it makes perfect sense.
I'm still learning.

btw, as a secondary question. How is it possible for an internal user who
has 2 email addresses (user@xxxxxxxxxxx and user@xxxxxxxxxxx) to specifiy
WHICH email address to use as the outbound/return address when sending an
email? In my case I've got a client who runs 2 companies and could be
wearing either "hat" at any point in time.

Thanks again!

Hi Richard:

When changing the default SMTP address in ADUC, un tic the little box
about default recipient policy.

I need a little guidance here. I've got a client who has domains
(domain1.com and domain2.com). Email is being received for both domains
and users have been set up with 2 incoming addresses (user@xxxxxxxxxxx
and user@xxxxxxxxxxx go into the same user account). The primary is set
right now to user@xxxxxxxxxxx (via user/properties/Email addresses.

My problem is I have some users that want the 2nd domain as their
primary and hence their return email address (user@xxxxxxxxxxx). When I
change this so that user@xxxxxxxxxxx is the primary it is getting reset
back to user@xxxxxxxxxxx as the primary... probably because of some GP.

What do I do to set, control and "make it stick" so that I can put a
user on their secondary domain address as the primary?

Thanks!

-Richard
