E-mail address policies allow you to generate or rewrite
e-mail addresses automatically for each recipient in your organization
based on specific criteria you set. Exchange Server uses e-mail address
policies in two key ways:
-
Whenever you create a new recipient, Exchange Server sets the
recipient's default e-mail address based on the applicable e-mail
address policy.
-
Whenever you apply an e-mail address policy, Exchange Server
automatically rewrites the e-mail addresses for recipients to which the
policy applies.
Every Exchange organization has a default e-mail address policy,
which is required to create e-mail addresses for recipients. You can
create additional e-mail address policies
as well—for example, if your organization's internal domain name is
different from its external domain name. You must create an accepted
domain to match your external domain name and an e-mail address policy
that assigns your external domain name to user e-mail addresses.
Viewing E-Mail Address Policies
You can view the e-mail address policies configured for your organization by completing the following steps:
-
In the Exchange Management Console, expand the Organization Configuration node, and then select the Hub Transport node.
-
On the E-Mail Address Policies tab, shown in Figure 1,
e-mail address policies are listed by name, priority, last modified
time, and applied status. The applied status is listed as True for a
policy that has been applied to recipients and False for a policy that
has not been applied to recipients.
You can use the Get-EmailAddressPolicy
cmdlet to list e-mail address policies or to get information on a
particular e-mail address policy. If you do not provide an identity
with this cmdlet, configuration information for all e-mail address
policies is displayed. Example 1 provides the syntax and usage, as well as sample output, for the Get-EmailAddressPolicy cmdlet.
