Faux Mailing List in MS Exchange
12 Aug
If you are looking for a semi-mailing list where subscription and unsubscription is not a needed functionality, then this is for you. This trick is basically an extension of Exchange’s Distribution Group. By design, DG only works for enterprise users – that is users that reside locally within the server. The extension of that is to include e-mail addresses that is outside the scope of the Exchange server. It’s pretty simple and straight forward, but a wee meticulous.
- Create a MailContact – this will create a contact in the Active Directory, thus creating a local user.
- Create a DG and browse for the newly created Contact.
The end.
