For a recipient to receive or send e-mail messages, the recipient must have an e-mail address. E-mail address policies allow you to generate e-mail addresses for each recipient in your organization. Use the New E-Mail Address Policy wizard to create a new e-mail address policy. E-mail address policies generate e-mail addresses for your users, contacts, and groups so they can receive and send e-mail.
You can also use the Exchange Management Shell to create and manage e-mail address policies. For more information, see the following topics:
- Get-EmailAddressPolicy
(RTM)
- New-EmailAddressPolicy
(RTM)
- Update-EmailAddressPolicy
(RTM)
- Remove-EmailAddressPolicy
(RTM)
- Set-EmailAddressPolicy
(RTM)
Use this wizard page to configure the following attributes of an e-mail address policy.
- Name
-
Use this text box to create the display name for the new e-mail address policy. The name can contain as many as 64 characters but cannot include wildcard characters.
- All recipients types
-
Select this option to apply the e-mail address policy to all recipient types. In Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, recipients are comprised of mailbox users, mail-enabled users, mail contacts, mail-enabled distribution and security groups, and mail-enabled public folders.
- The following specific types
-
Select this option to apply the e-mail address policy to specific recipient types. You can select one or more of the following recipient types:
- Users with Exchange mailboxes Select
this check box if you want your e-mail address policy to apply to
users with Exchange 2007, Exchange Server 2003, and
Exchange 2000 Server mailboxes. Users with Exchange
mailboxes are those that have a user domain account and a mailbox
in the Exchange organization.
- Users with external e-mail
addresses Select this check box if you want
your e-mail address policy to apply to users with external e-mail
addresses. Users with external e-mail accounts have user domain
accounts in Active Directory, but use e-mail accounts that are
external to the organization. This enables them to be included in
the global address list (GAL) and added to distribution lists.
- Resource mailboxes Select this check
box if you want your e-mail address policy to apply to Exchange
resource mailboxes. Resources mailboxes allow you to administer
company resources through a mailbox, such as a conference room or
company vehicle.
- Contacts with external e-mail
addresses Select this check box if you want
your e-mail address policy to apply to contacts with external
e-mail addresses. Contacts with external e-mail accounts do not
have user domain accounts in Active Directory, but the
external e-mail address is available in the GAL.
- Mail-enabled groups Select this check
box if you want your e-mail address policy to apply to security
groups or distribution groups that have been mail-enabled.
Mail-enabled groups are similar distribution groups. E-mail
messages that are sent to a mail-enabled group account will be
delivered to several recipients.
- Users with Exchange mailboxes Select
this check box if you want your e-mail address policy to apply to
users with Exchange 2007, Exchange Server 2003, and
Exchange 2000 Server mailboxes. Users with Exchange
mailboxes are those that have a user domain account and a mailbox
in the Exchange organization.
