Obviously, Exchange won't allow multiple contacts or custom recipients with the same mail address. Would it be feasible to set up distribution lists with the parent's e-mail address, set the custom recipients up with dummy addresses ([EMAIL PROTECTED] [1]), and add them both to the DL? I'm not sure that makes sense for your situation-- I'm on cold medication and may not be thinking clearly.

[2] [2] Hi Ed! -----Original Message----- From: Shields, Anthony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 8:07 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Multiple Contacts? Guys, I need your help. I'm create contacts in Win2k/E2k. Simple enough. I then try to send a test message to one of them and I get: Two recipients are configured with the same e-mail address. Contact your administrator. <exchange.maincampus.epsteinatlanta.org #5.1.4> The message is correct. There ARE two recipients configured with the SAME EXTERNAL email address. Here's the scenario: You have student - John Smith in 8th grade. You have his brother - Jason Smith in 6th grade. You create 1 contact for each of them...each teacher should be able to mail the parents by the name of the student they know. Each of the contacts is pointed to the parents email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] Looking at the properties for each contact, shows that each contact has a unique email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] .In addition, it shows the parent email address as the primary on both. In Outlook, I'd select from the gal one of the students and send mail. Wouldn't it match up what I selected in to: to the primary email address and then just send it? Is there something I'm missing or can this simply not be done? .+--xm ,)r(ື \檆b=!6 0 &zǚ1r,:.˛ m隊[hy\z[,)rɄZZvh'+-i٢2 G( _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
