Change 'reply to' address to send to different user
Hello,
I have an interesting issue that we inherited and need some insight on.
We have a customer that has their environment setup with each employee having 2 user accounts and email addresses in the same AD, as follows:
Username1: JSmith with email address JSmith@acme.com and
Username2: JSmith1 with email address Jsmith@secretdomain.com
The owners of the company would like to restrict 75% of the users with the "secretdomain" email address to only be able to receive mail from that account and send email from the "acme" account. While the executives still want to be able to send from both.
We thought we could make this change using EMS or ADModify.net, and change the "reply to" address on the secretdomain to point to the acme accounts, but that was not possible as the acme account are using that address.
The end goal is to make it impossible for the secretdomain users to send from that email address but still receive mail.
Thanks in advance guys.

First thought:
non-executives:
create 1 account/mailbox per user (combine the 2 seperate mailboxes into the acme account/mailbox) with both mailaddresses linked and the acme account set as reply mailaddres.. this way they can receive but all sent mail will be addressed with the acme account
executives:
keep the 2 accounts and have the acme account set as primary for the execs.
give them 'send as' rights on the secretdomain mailbox to send mail from the secret domain account and setting up 2 mailboxes in their (outlook?) profile .. using the acme as the primary mailbox
this way they dont need to use 2 accounts as login..
does this suit your needs?

The Transport Rule solution fit the customers needs exactly. By not allowing the non-executives to send from the secret domain but telling them by NDR so that they can resend correctly, while at the same time allow the exception to the rule for the executive to function as normal.
