Replies sent from public folder

[Jeff Vandervoort]

I have followed this article--

http://www.msexchange.org/articles/MF021.html

--to create a Public Folder to receive messages sent to a "generic" e-mail
address. But what I'd like, in addition, is for replies that are sent to
messages in this folder to be stamped with the folder's e-mail address as
the sender instead of the sender's address, and to have the replies saved to
a Sent Items folder that is also a Public Folder, instead of the sender's
Sent Items.

Can this be done?

sending as the folder -yes, if the sender has Send As rights to the folder,
they type (or select) the public folder in the to field.

saving the mail there requires scripting or rules.

if the sender has Send As rights to the folder

Hmmm...thought I knew what I needed to do to make that happen, but it didn't
work. I had previously created a mail-enabled security group and gave that
group Editor permissions in the folder.

Since I want all members of that group to be able to Send As, I went to
Directory Permissions in the folder's Properties sheet in ESM and tried to
add the group. When I did, it automatically had Full Control permissions,
which (obviously) included Send As. When I clicked OK, replicated to all
DCs, then went back to look at it again, the group had gone away. And users
who are members of that group can't Send As. They get this NDR:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: RE: Sending as <[email protected]>

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance,
contact your system administrator.

MSEXCH:MSExchangeIS:/DC=<tld>/DC=<domain>:<servername>

This group was originally hidden from the GAL. I thought maybe that was the
problem but even after allowing the name to appear on the GAL the problem
continued.

Do I have to give each group member Send As permissions?
