%g.%s@domain.com

Hey gang,

The default SMTP email address in our policy is setup for FirstinitialLastname@domain.com (Example: John Smith = JSmith@domain.com).

The company has decided to change everyones email address to firstname.lastname@domain.com.

From reading, we just add %g.%s@domain.com in our receipient policy. The problem is, this will make the first letters in the first and last name be in upper case. Example: John.Smith@domain.com. We would rather it be john.smith@domain.com.

Is there anyway around this? What are others doing?

In our opinion, the lower case looks better and we would rather go this route. Please advise!

You can't specify the case as it is pulled from AD.

What you COULD do is script this to add the additional SMTP by querying AD, converting the values to lower case and writing back to AD.

It really does not matter though since email addresses are not case sensitive.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark

Thanks guys.

But I got my answer on msexchange.org.

This is what I needed to put in my SMTP recipient policy:

%rAa%rBb%rCc%rDd%rEe%rFf%rGg%rHh%rIi%rJj%rKk%rLl%rMm%rNn%rOo%rPp%rQq%rRr%rSs%rTt%rUu%rVv%rWw%rXx%rYy%rZz%g.%s@domain.com


Works like a charm.


Cheers,

Eric
