well, for the relay part, if that were true, how would mail get to a user if you set him up with a secondary address that wasn't in recipient policy? This is common. like i want to use a .forward file unix sendmail senario- i send to addy A but redirect to addy B which is the primay addy. if exchange just looked in recipient policy, that wouldn't work because addy A wouldn't be in the policy and it would knock it out. i assume it looks up addy A in the proxyAddress attribute and then also sees the other primary addy from recipient policy and accepts it. does that sound right?
