Work Company Purchased Company B Company B Wants Maintain Old E Mail Addresses Domain Mark Q43855785
You work for Company A and have purchased Company B. Company Bwants to maintain their old e-mail addresses and domain formarketing purposes. Do you create a New Address Policy or Modifythe Default Address? NOTE: Here’s the text of the Real WorldScenario from P.334 Create a New Address Policy or Modify theDefault Address? “This is one of the questions we hear the mostoften: Should I create a new address list when I need to add a newSMTP domain, or should I simply modify the default address list?Let’s look at an example to illustrate when you need to use one orthe other. Also, keep in mind that only one email address policycan be applied to a new user that is created in your organization.When you create a new user, Exchange checks to see which policymatches the new recipient, based on conditions and filters. Ifmultiple policies apply to the user, it will apply only the policywith the highest priority and then ignore all others. If no custompolicies apply to the user, then the default policy is applied. (Apolicy must always be applied when you create a mailbox-enableduser, which is why you cannot remove or delete the default emailaddress policy.) Now on to our scenario. One of this book’s authorswas called in because “the Internet was broken and not sendingemails.” (We love those descriptions!) We quickly noticed that theorganization had five different email address policies. Eachaddress policy had a different SMTP domain and was configured toapply to all users. So, you now know that when a new user wascreated in their company, the user received only the highestpriority email address policy and was therefore assigned only asingle SMTP address that matched that policy. There is an easy fixto this: simply remove all the custom email address policies, andthen add the SMTP domains to the default email address policy. Thenreapply the policy and all users are assigned correct addresses. Sonow to answer the initial question: Create a custom email addresspolicy when you need to assign a separate SMTP domain to a subsetof your users. Modify the default email address policy when youwant to add domains to all users in your organization
