Re-routing incoming external mail.

[scotamb]

Hi all,

Is there a program or script which will allow me to rename incoming external e-mail addresses e.g.

anonymous@scan.somewhere.co.uk
to
anonymous@somewhere.co.uk

At the moment I am getting my external e-mail scanned by an external company and the e-mail comes back with the 'scan' part of the address appended to it. This had previously been done by our ISP who are no longer carrying out this function.

What I want to do is change the incoming e-mail address to remove the 'scan' part before it is handled by the Exchange Server.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

Have you contacted that 'external company' who does your scanning about this problem?

It would be easiest to have the external company make the change. If this is not possible, you could write an SMTP transport event sink to do the job.

Do you guys even read the posts?

Thanks for the SMTP transport event sink tip though, will look into that.

Managed to get a workaround anyway by adding a second smtp e-mail address to all users through AD reflecting the @scan.somewhere.co.uk. Seems to work.
