Sending From Multiple Email Addresses

[SteveGSI]

Hi

I have and Exhange 2003 server and clients on Outlook 2003. All clients have their own personal email address and then an group email: office@******.com which is assigned to a distribution group.

Is it possible to set outlook/exchange up so that the user can specify what reply address to send with the mail. e.g: the user may wish the recipient to reply to the office address rather than their personal one. If so how???

many thanks in advance

steve

No, you need a mailbox per address, as Exchange will ALWAYS use the default SMTP address of a user to send.

That, or you could allow relaying for those specific user IP's, but that is messy for the user.

Can't you grant "on behlaf of" permission? Then the user can fill out office@foo.com in the From field? We use this tecnique.

thanks for the replies i found a solution in the end by using the "Have replies sent to:" setting in the message options.

many thanks

Steve where is this "Have replies sent to:" located?

At the reply level there is a button called options where you set delivery options.

You could have done it with send as then change the from field.

sorry, just rereading it. Don't use a disty, have the office email address as a mailbox and grant send as and full mailbox rights will solve your problem.

I have a similar Problem. When we had Exchange 5.5 you could add extra email addresses to a mailbox, then use the "From" option in outlook to atach the correct return address.

Am I right in thinking that this is no longer allowed? because when I try it I get a returned email saying that I do not have permission to send to the recipient. (If I leave the From field blank the email goes corrctly, but with my default return address)

Do we now have to have a seperate user account for each mailbox we want to send from?

We run 3 companies from the same box so I have 3 email addresses one for each company. Any sugestions as to the best way to impliment this in 2003?

Thanks

Like above, you need a mailbox per address you want to use.
