exchange 2003

[Diaonic]

I'm sure this is going to be an easy answer for the exchange 2003 gurus. However exchagne is still pretty new for me.

Regardless we have a 2003 exchange server running with AD. We have a large distribution list setup and working fine.

People that work from home are requesting to have their personal emails be added to the distribution list. How would I go about doing this?

I'v tried adding a new user and editing the SMTP address to point to the home email address. And I made sure the user was part of the distribution list.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Diaonic

Nevermind I resolved my own issue.

Here is the resolution if anyone was curious.

You need to create a contact and mail enable it. If you create the contact on the exchange servers, the last page of the wizard will ask if you want to add an email address. Or you can right click on the contact and pick exchange tasks, then establish an external email address. Then just add this contact to the distribution list.

yeah, unfortunately to send to external email addresses you have to create mail enabled contacts. I usually hide them from the GAL though, just to keep it tidy
