using an 'alias' in the From field

[Rusty]

I work at a large organization where we need to send out emails that appear
to be 'from' one of our leadership volunteers. We use Outlook and Exchange.
I know that we can set up an account for the person and then send it from
there, but we really don't want to have an active account for these folks.
Best of all would be some way that we could change the From field to display
their name or 'from the desk of', etc. Any thoughts about that? thanks,
Rusty

You can create an Active Directory contact for that and set the correct Send
As/Send On Behalf Of permissions and forward settings on it.
Another way to go would be to set the alias to someone else's mailbox and
then use the following Exchange addin;
