Create a Recipient Policy

With a recipient policy, you can quickly apply general and e-mail address properties to recipients.

To create a recipient policy:

1. Start System Manager: On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2. Under the Recipients item, right-click Recipient Policies, point to New, and then click Recipient Policy.
3. On the General tab, set the following options:
   • Use Name to name the policy.
   • Click Modify to access Find Exchange Recipients and build the LDAP query to select the set of recipients to which your policy applies. Use the General tab to build a simple query. Use the Storage tab to specify select the set of mailboxes you want to include in your query. Use the Advanced tab to build an advanced query using field-level attributes of the recipients and search conditions.
   • Use Filter rules to see the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query filter created in the Find Exchange Recipients window.
4. On the E-Mail Address tab, set the following options:
   • Use Generation Rules to view the current rules of how e-mail addresses are generated for the recipients selected by the LDAP query. Any recipient under this policy automatically has the addresses in this list. Use New to create a new rule and Edit to change an existing rule.
   • Use Set as Primary to designate one address as the primary when you have two or more e-mail addresses of the same address type.
5. On the Details tab, use Administrative note to add additional information.
