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 address of johnd@company.com. As Outlook always resolves both SMTP addresses to a mailbox name, there is no way to see what address the message was originally sent to. The only known workaround is looking through message envelope headers (open a message > View > Options...). Suppose John Doe would like to set a rule to put any emails sent to johnd@company.com to a separate "JohnD-Inbox" folder. When he tries to set the rule, it does not work because of address resolving.
WhichAddress for Exchange 2000/2003 application allows user to see which address the message was originally sent to and set up a rule to separate the messages being sent to different SMTP addresses.
The application is an Exchange store event sink.
Benefits
Installation
On your Exchange 2000 Server computer:
1. Create a new mail-enabled user account and make sure it's mailbox alias is WATEST
2. Add the additional SMTP address WATEST1@domain.com
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)
