Sending emails from different alias via Ex 2007 / SBS 2008

[EssoOil]

Hi,

I know that as default Exchange Server (2007) likes to send out emails with the alias being the name of the user who is logged in e.g. joanne@mydomain.com or paul@mydomain.com.

However, many companies have sales@mydomain.com and accounts@mydomain.com but you would not have a user called sales or accounts.

How then can you send an email where the from alias is different from the user name?

e.g. it's easy to forward emails addressed to sales@mydomain.com to joanne@mydomain.com but what if you want the reply to be from sales@mydomain.com and NOT joanne@mydomain.com? So the person who sent the email clearly sees the reply is from sales@mydomain.com.

This sort of thing was simple to do before we moved over to Exchange server. I'm sure lots of people must need to do this sort of thing but I cant seem to figure out an easy way to do it.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks AW78, the instructions in the link you sent seem easy enough to follow - I'm just not sure how I create the sales@ and accounts@ email addresses.

Do I have to actually create two new SBS users (who wont actually ever log in), one called 'sales' and one called 'accounts' just so I can have my sales@ and accounts@ email addresses?

Please let me know - Thanks.

No you need to create either a ditribution list ( all email recieved will be distributed to all members of that list ) or a resource/room mailbox then add the users to that mailbox and grant send on behalf permssions. Once done, in outlook simply open that other users mailbox as a secodary mailbox.
