I am curious what other people have done in regards to the
Administrator and Postmaster account. I am going to set up a mailbox
on my Exchange server for myself, jeffg. I want all administrator and
postmaster e-mail to go to my account. Do I just add them under my
account, or is there a different way to accomplish this? Also, I
noticed that the Administrator account will not let me remove or add
any additional e-mail accounts. Any idea why?

Thanks,
Jeff

- You can add postmaster as a proxy address to your own account. The
administrator account does allow you to add additional proxyAddresses from
the email addresses tab in AD Users & Computers.
- Mailbox where a copy of NDRs should be delivered still needs to be
specified in SMTP virtual server settings.

- Mailbox where the mailbox management reports should be delivered also
needs to be specified in server properties | Mailbox Management tab |
Administrator field.

Thank you for the information. When I go into the Administrator
account in AD Users & Computers, under the E-Mail Address tab, I am
not able to click on New, Remove, etc. The only button available is
View. How can I remove any of those e-mail addresses? Is there
anything special, system related, that is sent to the administrator
mailbox?

Another question. If I have 5 e-mail address set up for myself, is it
possible for me to send e-mail as any of those 5 e-mail addresses? Or
will it always show coming from my default (primary) e-mail address?

Thanks,
Jeff
