Is it possible to have more than one alternate recipient listed in the delivery options of a users mailbox? If so, how can I do this. I am running NT 4.0 with SP6 and Exchange server 5.5 with SP4.

No, I don’t believe there’s any way through Exchange Admin. to specify more than one alternate recipient. The user can set up rules through Outlook on his/her own desktop, however, to forward copies of received messages to as many other people as required. Hope this helps!

A way around this would be to make the alternate recipient a group or a custom recipient with a number of associated mail addresses.

Not directly, but the workaround is to create a Distribution List of the mailboxes that should be included. Then use that Distribution List as the Alternate Recipient.

You might just create a mailbox under ExchAdmin and then have the mailbox be added as an additional mailbox in Outlook. This should give the users a personal mailbox and the general mailbox as active mailboxes within their Outlook.

Have you tried to make the alternate recipient a “Distribution List”?
