Hi,
On a new Exchange 2003 Server I noticed that a few existing mail-enabled
users have SMTP addresses, but the email address format is unfamiliar to
me. It is something lime this:
user1@xxxxxxxxx
Instead of what I would expect:
user1@xxxxxxxx
The server AD domain happens to be mail01.abcd.abcd, and the AD domain is
abcd.abcd. Is there a connection between the AD domain name and SMTP
address as some kind of "default" SMTP address?
To add real "external" SMTP addresses, do I simply delete these SMTP
addresses and replace with the real ones? Or must I keep these AD domain
SMTP addresses and add the external ones as well? If so, what would I
lose by deleting the AD domain SMTP addresses? Is there any information
on this format for SMTP addresses in Exchange and what it means etc.?
TIA!
Mike
