We hired &quot;joe&quot; a while back and gave him a generic email address &quot;tr2@contuso.com&quot;. &nbsp;Now that Joe has been here a while, we want him to have &quot;joe@contuso.com&quot;, but we want those emails to arrive at &quot;tr2@contuso.com&quot;. &nbsp;How can we do that?<br />

At some point we would like to get rid of the tr2@contuso.com email address, but that would be a while before we would do that, as there are many vendors using the tr2@contuso.com to email Joe.<br />

Ideally any email being sent to &quot;joe@contuso.com&quot; would arrive in the inbox of &quot;tr2@contuso.com&quot;. &nbsp;<br />

We use Exchange 2007 on our SBS 2008 and the user's workstation is running Outlook 2007.

How to alias a users name to a generic email address

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.

Outlook

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
