Can't you give just "Send As" permission on the group to the people that needs to send from it? Then just enter the name of the group in the From field in Outlook.

I've created a new distribution group called quotes. Now I've been asked that when a user replies to an email originally sent to the group, the "from" address would be the group address. Otherwise, the "from" would be the user's address. I've come up with can only be considered an ugly hack. When our quoters reply to an email, the group display name should be in the text. My idea is a transport rule scanning outbounds for that text and prepending something to the subject. Then a second transport rule watches for "RE:prepend" in the subject of inbound mail and routes that to the group. This configuration doesn't specifically meet the request, but it fits the desired outcome of getting further replies going to the group. Anyone know a better way? (I'm thinking there has to be one) :) Steve
