Dear Sir/Madam, I am trying to implement an exchange server 2003 environment. Actually, our company has only one email address which is used by numerous employees. Currently, all of us use outlook and we download mails individually on each PC!!! This does not help us much as it uses all our bandwidth as we receive voluminous mails. We are trying to improve this situation by installing exchange server 2003. By this, we want the mail to be downloaded centrally once and then to be distributed on each outlook recipients internally. However, each client should be able to send out mails. Can anyone please help us on how to go about it. Thank You

Hi Are you using POP3 to download the mails to the server? I would go for creating the "resource" mailbox and then give access to the users/groups that should have the access, then just map it up in outlook For sending mails out, just setup a send connector/routing group connector (smtp)Jonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

Hi Jonas, Thanks for your help. However, i am not using POP3. I am using a linux server to download and the mails and root them to the exchange server

Ok, using a smarthost or mx record I don't see any problem with it, when sending mails out, it would be good to route them through the linux server then Jonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

Hello Nishal, You said " our company has only one email address which is used by numerous employees. " -You can create shared mailbox on the exchange 2003 server. -You can do this with a regular mailbox. Give mailbox permission to users who needs mailbox access and "send as" permission to people who needs to send as this "resource mailbox" Use ADUC, properties on the shared mailbox, Exchange advanced tab, mailbox rights buttin, add a user or a group and grant it "Full mailbox access" and nothing else. This will give the user/group full access to the mailbox. Next step is to grant user or group "Send as" permission, for that you must select advanced view Then goto the security tab on the shared mailbox and grant users or groups "send as" permission and nothing else.------Exchange, OCS------
