Multiple mail addresses and Reply to address

[ablack]

I am wondering the following; If a client is connected to their Exchange
server with Outlook and their primary mail address is for example, (e-mail address removed)
what if we setup additional domains that are redirected to this same Exchange
server and add additional SMTP addresses for this same user such as
(e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed) I know the mail will get to the correct user, what I
am wondering; however, is what sent from and reply address will be listed on
the message.

If the users primary address is (e-mail address removed), but he receives a message as
(e-mail address removed) and replies to the sender, will the message go out of the Exchange
server as (e-mail address removed) or as the primary mail address that the Exchange mailbox
is setup under.

Please help. I need to replicate a POP mail structure with multiple mail
domains onto an Exchange server ASAP...

TIA
Allan

EVen with the multiple SMTP addresses, it will default to sending with
whatever the default SMTP addy is.
We rarely have to accomodate stuff like this in exhcange, but when we do, we
create mutliple mailboxes with the seperate addresses, and give the user
permissions to all of them. Then you have to either configure multiple
profiles, or grant the SEND AS right in AD, and train the user how to not
screw it up.....dicey at best.

Thanks for the reply, I was kind of suspicious of this, so for the time being
I am leaving the POP accounts and simply delivering the data to the Excange
server for storage and backup. I have encouraged the customer to migrate
these other accounts to a single domain that I will house on the Exchange
server and will serve as his primary mail account.

I have been researching this same problem for one of our customers and this
is NOT a rare problem. I have more than 1 customer who have multiple SMTP
domain names and require to be able to send e-mails from any of the domain
names (= businesses). All solutions I have seen on the discussion groups are
unmanagable work-arounds and are very confusing for our customers.

Plea to Microsoft: Please enable us to use the account selection, as we can
do for POP3 mailboxes, in Exchange connected mailboxes.
