Edit E-Mail Address Policy Wizard > Introduction Page

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007 SP3, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP1

Use the Introduction page of the Edit E-mail Address Policy wizard to edit an existing e-mail address policy. E-mail address policies specify how e-mail addresses of the recipients included in the policy should be formatted.

For example, you can create policies in which every member of your organization's Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail address will display: lastname.firstname@example.com or alias@example.com.

You can also use the Exchange Management Shell to create and manage e-mail address policies. For more information, see the following topics:

Use this wizard page to configure the following attributes of an e-mail address policy.

  • Name
    Type the display name of the e-mail address policy that you are creating. The name can contain as many as 64 characters but cannot include wildcard characters.

  • Include these recipient types
    Select the types of recipients for the e-mail address policy. You can select All recipient types, or the following specific types:

    • Users with Exchange mailboxes   Select this option if you want your e-mail address policy to apply to users with Microsoft Exchange Server 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 option if you want your e-mail address policy to apply to mail contacts with external e-mail addresses. Users with external e-mail accounts have user domain accounts in the Active Directory directory service, 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 option 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 option 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 option 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 to distribution groups where messages sent to a mail-enabled group account will go to several recipients.
