I've been asked by HR to create an email address that can be used to send an email to the HR Department as part of a whistleblower program that the company is establishing.

The catch is that the email would have to allow for sender's anonymity.

I have a couple of ideas, but to keep from tainting your suggestions, I'm going to hold on presenting them now.

What do you think and how would you approach this?

Thanks,
Bill

That way, there is no indication of who the originating sender is and it is totally anonymous. If you're running Exchange, it's as simple as creating a generic user account with a password known to all users and allow them to use that login account when sending anonymous email.

I am running Exchange. Your suggestion was my first thought. Then my next thought was, "How do you prevent abuse?" Is it possible in Exchange to limit that email address to sending only to a specific email address?

What you state can all be done with Exchange and it's not hard at all, but will take some reading and familiarity with the Exchange System Manager and GUI tools.
