I'd need to track down a particular smtp address that may or may not be associated with a mailbox within my exchange organization. (Exchange 5.5)

I'm having trouble searching for it because, while exchange administrator does allow me to view all smtp addresses in a column, it doesn't allow me to sort by that column. Because of this I am forced to scroll down through a list of several thousand exchange mailboxes and search for this smtp address visually. (no... I have not considered actually attempting this...)

Is there some way that I can accomplish this task? Is there a third party tool of some sort that can extract this information and allow me to soft through it with a bit more functionality?

Go to an Outlook mail client. Start a new message. Key in the smtp address. Leave the field so the name resolves. If it is one of yours, it should resolve to a mailbox user name.

Good luck.

Good answer. I actually did try that but I wasn't confident enough in that method.
I did find a better way though. One can export the window contents of exchange administrator to a .csv file. SO I just did that while having the smtp addresses displayed. Then I just did a text search in excel. Charming! :)
