Chris, Thank You! - The thought of creating DL's (now called Distribution Groups, or Mail-Enabled Groups in Exchange 2000) crossed my mind, but I never saw the "From:" field show up inside of the Outlook Client. It also never crossed my mind, that by going to the "View" menu, that I could force the "From:" blank to actually show up.
THANK YOU for shedding some light on that for me. Now it all makes complete sense, how the mail flows in because of the Alias, gets routed to the right person due to the group membership, and how the person can assume the identity of that Alias, using "Send As" privileges. Very nice. Now the next question... Is this a possible thing to do, inside of OWA? I have a distinct feeling, that there is no way to make this happen - other than logging in as a different person altogether - but then again, you can't log in as a Distribution Group can you?... So with OWA, I don't think this is do-able is it... Thanks again for everything, and talk to you soon, Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Scharff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2003 11:45 AM Subject: Re: Multiple Identities not working (attn:Chris) > Let's make this easier. > > 1.
