I think you should get clarity on what they are trying to accomplish so that you can accurately assess the risks and determine the solutions. Regards,

That’s an important question… From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mayo, Bill Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2017 2:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Exchange] Shared Mailbox with Outside Agencies We have a request to have a mailbox setup that will allow outside agencies to access. From my perspective, creating accounts for these outside agencies is a non-starter. I know that there are some things you can do to allow external, anonymous access to a public folder, but I am not particularly crazy about going that route either. We are on Exchange 2010, hosted entirely at our site. I don’t think there are really any viable options here. Am I correct? If so, are there are any free/cheap 3rd party alternatives that folks have used for this and are happy with? Bill Mayo
