    It is by design as mentioned, the exchange categorizer will change to the primary smtp address during categorization\recipient resolution.

    If the e-mail address that's used in the message doesn't match the primary SMTP address of the corresponding Active Directory object, the categorizer rewrites the e-mail address in the message to match the primary SMTP address. The original e-mail address is saved in the ORCPT= parameter in the RCPT TO: command in the message envelope.

    That is by design and I am not aware of a way to change it.
    As far as Exchange is concerned, all users only have a single email address - their primary. Any additional addresses are just aliases used for inbound email only. Replies will go out as the primary address as well.

    Why don't you want to create additional mailboxes? They don't incur additional licencing costs, and with Outlook 2010 as the client you will get notifications and the ability to control which address the email goes out as.

    Sembee,

    thanks for your answer. I hope not this is by design. Any other SMTP Server will not CHANGE the original SMTP Address (e.g. Exchange 2003/2007 ;) ) I can see your Argument, but if i send an eMail to address (A), there is no reason to change this address into (B).

    BTW:  A lot of Exchange Tools calculate there Licence on the MBX Count.

    And as I sayed, creating additional MBX is not an Option, because every user own up to 70! SMTP Addresses ...

    Cheers

    Exchange isn't alone in this operation.
    Most email servers will operate in the same way, the account has a primary email address/username and then a pile of aliases. It comes down to how the client interprets it. Outlook "corrects" the email address and display name to the primary email address.

    The way you are using Exchange is not normal, sorry that may be blunt, but that is the way it is. I can count on one hand the number of deployments I have done in the last six or seven years where multiple email addresses on users is an issue - 70 email addresses is certainly not something I have seen attempted before. You are therefore going to be limited on what you can do with the product.

    There is a third party tool that claims it can show the original email address the message was sent to:

    http://www.ivasoft.com/whichaddress2010.shtml

    I haven't used it, so cannot comment if it works correctly.

    Otherwise you will have to either accept the limitations of Exchange or move to something else.

    Simon.

    @Sembee, thanks for your info! But … my Client have running Exchange 2003 and anything works fine, after upgrading to Exchange 2010 we have this "Situation" ;)

    Unfortunately, the Software works only if you received eMails from External.

    @Jamestechmen: thanks for the Link!

    My Conclusion for this issue:

    I've wrote an eMail to Rhodan@dispologix.com after sending this eMail (regardless if I use Outlook, OWA, POP3) Exchange makes this with the Header:

    From: <uwe@dispologix.com>
    To: <Rhodan@dispologix.de> <- WRONG!!!!!!
    Subject: Test eMail Rhodan

    MIME-Version: 1.0

    If the final answer, Exchange rewrites the SMTP Header and there is no way to bring back the Exchange 2003 behavoir, I guess I must find something different to satisfy my customer ;)

    Cheers and thanks a lot

    Uwe

    victor,

    thanks for your offer! But as I inderstand it, your Software will "only" Categorized an eMail by putting the RCPT SMTP Address in to the "Categorie" Field, right?

    Again:

    • I work for two companies
    • my primary SMTP is CompA
    • my colleague primary SMPT is CompB his secondary is CompA
    • I send an eMail to an external Customer and to my colleague CompA address.
    • unfortunately, the Customer receive this eMail with the CompB Address of my colleague ... and this should not happen ;)

    cheers

    Uwe
