Exchange Server receipient setup on SBS 2003 vs. 4.5

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

We are migrating from Small Business Server 4.5 to Small Business
Server 2003. In both cases we have 25 user/workstation licenses and the
email system is going from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange Server 2003.

On our old system, in addition to email accounts for each user, we had
"program" email accounts (i.e. for a particular marketing promotion it
might says something like "for more info send to
'promoinfo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'"). The Exchange 5.5 component on SBS 4.5
seemed to let you create these email recipient boxes ad infinitum; I
would then give permission to the users who would be reading/replying
to these emails and I would setup their Outlook so they could toggle
between being in their own mailbox and the "promo" mailbox.

From what I can see, Exchange Server 2003 (or at least as it is with
SBS 2003) is much tighter. It appears you can ONLY create a user and
email at the same time (SBS 4.5 did let you create an email address
when you created a user, but you could also just create email accounts
separately in exchange server and give permissions to users).

Is this true (I'm thinking it has something to do with Active
Directory)? Does this mean that your Exchange Server can only have 25
email recipients now (if you have 25 user licenses)? Or is there
something I'm not figuring out? Any help will be much appreciated,
thanks.
