Purpose
An Exchange 2000/2003 mailbox may have multiple SMTP addresses assosiated with it. For example, John Doe has a mailbox with a primary SMTP address of john.doe@company.com and secondary SMTP addresses of johnd@company.com, john2@company.com and john3@company.com. John wishes for emails sent to his secondary SMTP addresses to be automatically placed in 2 folders he has created, "John2" and "John3". Both folders exist on the upper level, i.e. on the same level as Inbox, Outbox etc.
SmartMover for Exchange 2000/2003 application will move messages to specific folders based upon the name part of the recipient's SMTP address.
So, if a message is sent to john2@company.com, it will be moved to the John2 folder, if a message is sent to john3@company.com, it will be moved to the John3 folder. However if a message is sent to johnd@company.com, it will be placed in the default Inbox folder, as there is no JohnD folder in his mailbox. A message sent to john.doe@company.com will also be placed in the default Inbox folder, as john.doe@company.com is his default (primary) address.
The application is an Exchange store event sink.
Benefits
Limitations
1. A folder must exist and be the same name as the name part of the e-mail address (before @) to capture emails.
2. The folder has to be upper-level (i.e. on the same level as Inbox, Outbox etc).
Installation
On your Exchange 2000 Server computer:
1. Create a new mail-enabled user account and make sure it's mailbox alias is SMTEST.
2. Make sure that default (primary) SMTP address of this account is smtest@yourdomain.com. Add three additional SMTP addresses:
SMTEST1@yourdomain.com
SMTEST2@yourdomain.com
SMTEST3@yourdomain.com
Open Outlook as SMTEST and create two folders:
SMTEST1
and
SMTEST2
on the same level as Inbox folder.
3. Select (or create) user account that is a member of the local Administrators, Domain Admins, Domain Users and Exchange Domain Servers security groups. That account must have full permissions on the mailbox store. Open ESM (Exchange System Manager) and drill down to the mailbox store in question. Now open the properties and select the Security tab. Add your account and allow full control.
