How to Set the Enable Notifications to User-Specified SMTP Address Option for Your Organization

After you configure your organization to use Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync, you can configure your Exchange Server 2003 servers so that users can receive up-to-date notifications to keep their devices current with the changes that occur when a new item arrives in their Exchange mailbox. This notification prompts the user's device to synchronize the device with the Exchange mailbox automatically.

Procedure

To set the Enable notifications to user-specified SMTP address option for your organization

1. On the Exchange front-end server that is running Exchange ActiveSync, log on with the Exchange administrator account, and then start Exchange System Manager.

2. Expand Global Settings, right-click Mobile Services, and then click Properties.

3. On the Mobile Services Properties page, in the Exchange ActiveSync pane, set the Enable notifications to user specified SMTP address option as follows:

   • If you want to specify a mobile operator for your user, clear Enable notifications to user specified SMTP address.

   • If you want to allow your users to specify their own mobile operators, select Enable notifications to user specified SMTP address.

4. Click OK.
