Hey folks, One of our partner agencies currently has two email domains: @health.com @test.health.com What I would like to do is have Exchange strip the test portion of the email address so that if a person gets an email from user@test.health.com their replies will always go to user@health.com Is this possible? Thank you!

What version of Exchange? The only method out there is to use the address rewrite feature. However with 2007/2010 this feature requires the edge transport role. The feature does not change the reply to address it just changes the from address as it leaves the Exchange org to @health.com.

Hi Andarge, When you use address rewrite, the recipients will receive the emails with user@test.health.com , and when recipients reply, all the replies will always go to user@health.com. But if you do this, all the emails are from @health.com, not @test.health.com. So if you only need recipients receive emails with user@test.health.com and all replies will go to user@health.com . you can just follow James’s suggestion to do an address rewrite (in Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010). You can get more information about address rewriting form this document: Understanding Address Rewriting http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996806.aspx If you have any other requirements, you can explain your issue in detail.

Address rewriting requires that address rewriting agents be enabled on the outgoing Edge Transport Server.

Adam Bokiniec You are incorrect about it being available on the Hub Transport role. Address rewriting is only available on the Edge Transport role.
