In setting up our new network, everything is going well except our owners request for our email configuration. Using Exchange 5.5 and Outlook, he would like our email addresses to be:
name.department@domain.com
(noting that several people belong to multiple departments)
He wants everyone in the department level to be able to receive all department emails. His reasoning is that it looks more personal and that it includes the group (accountability). He also believes that the name and department gives our company the outward appearance of size.
I know how to set up ‘basic’ distribution lists, but in doing so usually just set up:
department@domain.com
and/or
name@domain.com
with each person being assigned to groups.
This is confusing both myself and the outside consultants I’m working with, however I’m sure something similar has been done successfuly.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
