I believe any policy can match, but the policy has to take effect. It's possible you didn't wait long enough.

It boils down to this: the *default* recipient policy must match one of the SMTP addresses of the users. If it don't, OWA won't work. You can add all the recipient policies you like, but it's the default policy that counts for OWA. Usually, I wouldn't give a rats what the M: drive says. BUT, the M: drive is where the Q article said to look. Unfortunately, the Q article didn't say how to change it. Ed pointed me to the recipient policy, and with a little experimentation, I found that simply having a policy that matched the users SMTP addresses was not enough. The default policy has to match. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Meunier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 10:52 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: E2K OWA & M: drive That's not how it works. You're still sorta confused. Your users need an SMTP address that matches that specified in the default recipient policy. Period. M: drive will also reflect the changes, but it's not the lead indicator. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ken Cornetet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Posted At: Thursday, February 28, 2002 08:38 AM > Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List > Conversation: E2K OWA & M: drive > Subject: RE: E2K OWA & M: drive > > > Well, the M: drive was just a symptom.
