Setting From and Reply To address in Outlook

[George Merriman]

I have a user who wants to use Exchange distribution lists for marketing
campaigns. He wants the From address and Reply To address in the emails to
point to a generic mailbnox ([email protected]). Is it possibnle to do this
from Outlook 2007/Exchange 2003? If not, what other solutions are available?

Thanks

Yes, he can do it in Exchange. He needs send as permission on the generic
mailboxes, then he just needs to select them when he creates the message -
or save a template with the fields prefilled out.

I've done all that, but we still keep getting the user's personal company
email address in the message header, as rendered by Outlook. If Joe User
creates a message and sets the From field to the Info account, the message
appears to the recipient as "From Joe User on behalf of Info" Our sales folks
prefer that the particular person creating the message not be mentioned in
the header.

If the user has Send As permission on the mailbox, it will not do a 'send on
behalf' - triple check the generic account's properties in the AD.
