Recipient Policies question
Hello,
I would like to understand what does the "E-Mail Addresses (Policy) mean. Under Recipient Policies in my Exchange Organization there are 17 different Recipient Policies and 1 default Policy. When I right click on a domain in the "recipient policies" and choose "E-Mail Addresses (Policy)" I see under "Generation Rules"
18 different addresses. Under type some domains are enable by being checked and others are not.
My question is:
1) By checking them what does that mean?
2)By unchecking them what does that mean?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
As a clarification, policies are applied in preferential order, from top down as you view them in System Manager. Exchange will process each policy, trying to match the user to the filter on the first tab. If a match is found, Exchange stops processing further policies, and applies the email addresses it finds checked in the policy where it has stopped.
In this example, if there are indeed 18 separate policy objects within the 'Recipient Policy' container in ESM, the users will ONLY receive email addresses (only checked ones) from ONE of these policies, since it will stop when it evaluates one which matches.
If we are talking about a single Recipient Policy with multiple SMTP addresses listed on the Email Addresses tab, then the users will indeed receive all the 18 email addresses from this policy, provided ALL of those SMTP addresses are checked.

Basicall, if you have 18 different addy's...then when you create a new user w/mailbox, it will assign them each of those 18 addresses.
If they are checked, then you can send to that address because the user will have it attached to them.
If you uncheck....the user will not have that address available.
