send email notifications to another email address

[mmenzie]

Hello,
I will try my best to explain the issue so that hopefully someone can help me.
In my orginization we don't use exchange for our email. our email is outsourced outside the company. our domain for our company is companynamecorp.com but or email addresses for our users are companynamecc.com. notice the diffrence of corp.com for the domain and cc.com for the email.
when i first setup sharepoint we were using Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS 2003). when i wanted to add a new user to a site i would go to the "add users" and eneter their email address user@companynamecc.com and it would find our user in our active directory, fill in their AD username and then send a welcome email to their address at username@companynamecc.com.
Due to the DST change this year i upgraded the SPS 2003 server to the latest Sharepoing server 2007 (MOSS 2007) and now when i add users it ALWAYS wants to send the welcome emails to the user using the domain name as the email address (user@companynamecorp.com) which does not exist and the user never gets the welcome email which is a big problem in my company.
Does anyone know how i can get MOSS 2007 to send the welcome emails to the users real address (user@companynamecc.com) again like it used to do in SPS 2003??

I am really desperate so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

Hi,

Not sure if this is really relevant or will help you. If you look at your users AD account properties. What does the e-mail field there say? I know that when I was using SPS 2003, that field was populated with the users email address and SPS2003 read also from that field. This meant that if I created an AD account and just put in any email address in the e-mail field of that user SharePoint would use that. Also look in the profile database and see what e-mail address is entered there for your users.

Cheers,
Thomas
