You almost might as well have sent it to the distribution list to begin with. It would be nice if rules contained a way to send a notification. ________________________________ From: Nikki Peterson - OETX [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 12:47 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Group Mailboxes It's not an ALERT (per sé) but it does let your folks know something came into the PF. Pretty easy to implement without a lot of hastle.

ADD RULE... Then just Forward them to the group (in whatever format works best) Nikki From: James Kerr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 10:35 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Group Mailboxes How would I setup such a rule using Exchange 2003? I don't see the option to notify a group in the folder assistant.

Nikki From: Campbell, Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 6:51 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Group Mailboxes That's pretty much the way we handle that kind of situation. You can either add the mailbox to their profile so it stays open all the time, or they can use Open Other User's Folder to do it on an ad-hoc basis. We have seen issues if you start getting too many people having the same mailbox open concurrently. Depending on circumstances, you can also set a server-side rule that will send a notification email to the group that's monitor that mailbox when new mail arrives. ________________________________ From: James Kerr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 8:45 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Group Mailboxes We need to have an email address that patients can send an email to, that will be checked by certain staff on a rotating schedule. I was wondering what the best way to do this was. I was thinking about creating a user account with a mailbox and giving certain users permission to access it and have it opened with their Outlook all the time and they can monitor the mailbox when it their turn to do so. I would like to hear how some of you would do this. One things as well, I believe the staff are all members of the same AD security group, if that helps me in any way.
