sharing email-addresses
Hi,Can anyone tell me how I can share 1 emailaddress between different users in exchange 2003? I want all my users to be able to use the info@mycompany.com address. It seems I can only apply the info address to one user.

You can only have one instance of an SMTP address in Exchange. You could setup a mailbox for the info@mycompany.com which users can have access to. Regards Paul

Thank you so much!! I've been trying to find a solution for a week, without success.

After all this doesn't seem to be a good solution. Depending on the mailclient used, the recipients can still see the senders e-mailaddress. Isn't there a way to just have different exchange users use the info@mycompany address as a default reply to address?

Hi, If you create the info mailbox you can give users "send as" permissions on this mailbox. In this way the recipient will see the info mailbox as the sender of the received mail. Leif

Depends on the mailbox used, if your recipient is a hotmail user for example, he sees as sender address: mail from info@mycompany.com on behalf of realuseraddress@mycompany.com. Also sent mails are not stored in the senders personal mailbox but in the info mailbox.

Hi, That must be because you have given the user "send on behalf" permission on the mailbox. You must assign the users "send as" permission - see the security tab on the info mailbox. When users send as another mailbox the sent mails will be in the users own send items. Leif

Thats right, I have given "send of behalf" permissions. Problem solved now. Thanks!!!

Now that everyone can use info@mycompany, is there also a way to make this their default smtp address so that they don't have to select it in the "from" field for each sent mail?

Hi, No, afraid not without using the info mailbox as their primary mailbox. Give the users full mailbox access also and then create Outlook profiles where they open the info mailbox as a normal inbox and their own mailbox as an additional mailbox. Leif
