Use the E-Mail Addresses page of the New E-Mail Address Policy wizard to configure the e-mail addresses for your address policy. You can Add, Edit, Remove, or Set as Reply for your e-mail addresses. You can also configure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or custom e-mail address types.
When creating an e-mail address policy, you can use the following e-mail address types:
- Precanned Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail address.
Precanned SMTP e-mail addresses are commonly used e-mail
address types that are provided for you.
- Custom SMTP e-mail address. If you do not want to use one of
the precanned SMTP e-mail addresses, you can specify a custom SMTP
e-mail address.
When creating a custom SMTP e-mail address, you can use the variables in the following table to specify alternate values for the local part of the e-mail address.
Variable Value %g
Given name (first name)
%i
Middle initial
%s
Surname (last name)
%d
Display name
%m
Exchange alias
%xs
Uses the x number of letters of the surname. For example if x=2, the first two letters of the surname are used.
%xg
Uses the x number of letters of the given name. For example, if x=2, the first two letters of the given name are used.
- Non-SMTP e-mail address. The following types of non-SMTP e-mail
addresses are supported:
- EX (Legacy DN Proxy Address Prefix DisplayName)
- X.500
- X.400
- MSMail
- Cc:Mail
- Lotus Notes

In Exchange 2007, all non-SMTP e-mail addresses are considered custom addresses. Exchange 2007 does not provide unique dialog boxes or property pages for X.400, GroupWise, or Lotus Notes e-mail address types. If you add a non-SMTP custom e-mail address, you must have the appropriate dynamic-link library (DLL) files. If you do not provide the appropriate DLL files, you will not be able to create a customized e-mail address policy. The following error will be logged in Event Viewer: "The e-mail address description object in the Microsoft Exchange directory for the 'SADF' address type on 'i386' machines are missing." |
