I have 2 users who both wish to receive e-mail that is sent to johndoe@mycompany.com. Any thing that is sent to that address they both want to receive a copy of it. I am running Exchange 2000 on a W2000 LAN using Outlook 2000. I do NOT wish to make a user named john doe and forward his mail. I want and johndoe@mycompany mail routed to the two users. Can I set something up in their profiles to receive all mail coming to that address? Suggestions? Please be specific.

Please read completely, choose either one.

1. OK Method
In your user account, add johndoe@mycompany.com as a second email address. Create an outlook rule to forward any messages for johndoe@mycompnay.com to go to those two users.

2. PreferedMethod
AD Users and computers, goto (view, advanced features)

create a distribution group, add the two users to be accepting johndoe@mycompany.com

***Please read completely before disregarding***
create account for johndoe@mycompany.com, getproperties, exchange general tab, delivery options, forward to the new group. then under exchange advanced, select "Hide from exchange address list" so users won't see this mailbox. You can also Hide the group if you want.

3. Im a dummy, you don't need to create a user, create a distribution group with the two users. wait 5 minutes for AD to propogate addressing. In the email address tab of the properties, add the johndoe@mycompany.com address. Who ever is in that group will get email destined for johndoe@mycompany.com

Good question. I would make a new custom recipient called John Doe and associate it with one of the 2 users login. Then I would assign permission to both users and open this mailbox as an additional mailbox in both users client. I am pretty sure that will work.
