Mailbox setup - send not receive

[Spirit100]

We have an info mailbox (info@companyname.com) on an Exchange 2003 server. We want this account to send email but not receive emails. Can it be configured as such?

Yes, simply configure it with either a bogus SMTP address say in a outlook express account. It ought to work in outlook but I know it would in outlook express.

OR...

You could put a filter on the recipient folder that only allows emails from certain places. This seems like the best solution to me.

We're using Outlook 2003. Do you know how to create the bogus smtp address? and will the sender recieve a message?

Thanks Spirit

58sniper,

Can't you just add the fakedomain.local email address into the email address page?

double click the user in AD (on the exchange server) and go to the email addresses tab, add smtp address.

But to answer your question, yes just add the fakedomain.local email address into the email address page?

What we did is far easier than creating fake anything.

In active directory we have the user with the outgoing mailbox... it can send as much as it wants to how many it wants with no restrictions.

To prevent incoming mail:
In Active Directory Users and Computers goto the user account and goto the properties. Under the Exchange General tab is a nice button labeled Delivery Restrictions. In there is a spot labeled "Message Restrictions". Put a check in the box that says "Only From" and then click the "Add" button. You can put in your postmaster address or something that is rarely used (I use my gmail account as I don't reply to my own no reply address).

Voila no the account only accepts mail from that one account and no one elses and can send to whoever.
