Reply-To address?

[aaronjonmartin]

Hi guys wonder if you could shed some light on this for me. Previously i have used outlook with pop3, and i was able to set a reply-to address which when the person recieving my email got and they hit reply it would be sent to the address i had set in the reply-to.

Now I am using Exchange 2000 and Outlook 2003 and i was wondering if there was a way i could do this? I cant seem to find the option in outlook.

I just want to set a different reply-to address than the address im actually sending the mail from.

Hope it all makes sense.

Thanks for any help in advance

Two ways to accomplish this. If the reply to address is on the same domain as your primary you can accomplish this from the ADUC on the exchange server, user properties for the individual user. If its an external emaill addy, then you can accomplish this in Outlook. When you creat a new message, there is an option icon that will allow you to enter a manual reply-to-address.

An Exchange server will ALWAYS sent out mail with the default SMTP address If you don't want this address, you either choose another default (or create one), or, you create a seperate mailbox with a different address.

Frank's second option is also usable, but it needs selecting the Options every time.

It would be good practice to share that solution with others on this site.

If the e-mail is in the same domain, go to the Exchange Server/AD Users and Computers. Right-click the user, Exchange Adavanced, Mailbox Rights, and add yourself to view/edit/delete/send to the user. Then, in your Outlook 2000/2003, click view FROM: field.

When composing e-mail(s), you should be able to then type in the other user's name and send the e-mail as that person.
