Hi guys,

I have the following case. The customer have a general email address which he wants all workstations to have access from Outlook within a SBS2003 server.

Is there a way to setup this general email address ex: info@newsgroup so user A,B,C can receive this email and been able to reply using this email address only?



Thanks!

P.S.
If I would not be using Exchange with SBS2003 I would simply create the pop account in each Outlook, but I cannot find a way to handle this in SBS2003.

You want this to come directly into user A,B and C's inbox in outook? Why not just let the users check the mail using OWA?

Hi Tim,

I basically want user A,B & C to use the same inbox for info@newsgroup

They don't use OWA, they use Outlook 2007 to manage the emails, but SBS2003 creates a local email per user which is not the case here. The idea is that even if you have 5 employees they all will handle one email address info@newsgroup, pretty much like for support agents which only one email is provided to the public.

I would suggest using a mail-enabled Public Folder for this solution.
After mail-enabling it, go into it's properties, and set the "Send As"
permissions to how can send as that name. THen go to Oulook, Public
FOlder properties, configure who can have access to it, and their
permissions Role level.

I used to work in a 5000 user system with 20 email servers. In such as
large environment, and I use the same mindset with small systems, it is
not taken lightly to simnply create another user account as a solution
when a team needs a common mailbox they can share access. That would be
like creating a Bob Smith mailbox, and giving permissions to the others
in the group. Bob Smith in this essence is a security principal that
has access to resources. Public Folders are not, and is a better suited
solution.

Public Folders are less of a security threat, since they are not a
security principle, that is somethuing you can provide premissions to a
resource (shared folder, printer, etc). If an attacker decides to try
to go after an email address that happens to be a public folder and
thinking it's a logon account, they will be wasting their time.

I hope that helps!

Hello,

I been using this generic email to a public folder to great effect here
for a while now. Took reading a lot of forum posts to discover you have
to allow anonymous contributor for the public folder to receive mails
from the net at that email address. Also remember to add contributor
permissions for the distribution group which is based on the company
name so people inside the organisation can send mail to it if they need to.
