New E-Mail Address Policy Wizard > E-Mail Addresses Page (RTM)

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007

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

    • Novell GroupWise

    • Exchange Unified Messaging proxy address (EUM proxy address)

Important

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."

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

  • Set as Reply
    Use this option to set your selected custom address as the "reply to" address. This option makes the e-mail address the primary address for this type. This is the address that is seen by other users and is the address to which they reply.
