Hey Russ, In the Recipient policy properties, click on the "E-Mail address (policy)" tab add an SMTP entry that looks like this: %g.%s@xxxxxxxxxxxx That will add an address %g (Given name) then a period "." then %s (Surname) followed by the Domain name (@Mydomain.com) This will affect the addresses of who the policy is applied to. (if it doesn't already exit) Example name: Daniel Shelly (@microsoft.com) would add Daniel.Shelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxx As an address. Hope that helps, Fares From Exchange help: '**************************************** You can type text as well as replacement strings in the SMTP Address Properties dialog box, in Address. Use the format userformat@domain where userformat is optional and can contain text as well as replacement strings, and domain is an alphanumeric domain name. The default user format string, if one is not specified, is %m. A user format string of %% results in a replacement string of a single percent sign. User Format String Replacement String Format String Proxy Generated For Sample User %s Surname %s@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Shelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxx %g Given name %g@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx %i Middle initial %g.%i.%s@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Daniel.B.Shelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxx %d Display name %d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx DanielB.Shelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxx %m Mailbox %m@xxxxxxxxxxxxx daniels@xxxxxxxxxxxxx %rxy Use %r to identify that you want to substitute one character for another. The character you want to remove is listed after the %r, shown by the x in the User Format String column. The character you want to substitute is listed next, represented by the y in the User Format String column. If x and y are equal, the character will be deleted.

The default recipient policy sets the email address as the exchange 'alias@xxxxxxxxxx'. Has anyone done this? Thanks Russ
