Thank you for all the replies. They have all been very helpful. The way I have set this up is almost exactly as per Greg's situation below. I don't actually need to receive email for the users in the new company name at the moment. Mail being sent to the new company is going elsewhere and then being forwarded on to the users at our default company address.

Same exact thing, but you would have to mess with the permissions on the second account/mailbox to allow the other account to send "As" it. The thing that bites in E2K is that you have to have that other account sitting out there. But you could disable it from being able to logon and that would address most of the security hassles. The tricky thing about what Kevan is trying is that he is accepting email for that other domain on his Exchange server. That is what makes things complicated and requires the two mailboxes. If they just wanted to send as the other company but that company's email did not actually come into their Exchange system, he could just use an Contact (Custom Recipient) for the second "mailbox" and do it that way. This is exactly how I have my alternate identity for Ferris Research configured. And I have configured my Outlook client to not only connect to my Exchange server, but also to connect to my Ferris POP account. Alternatively, I could have had my Ferris email redirected to my infonition mailbox. Essentially the same thing. > Wonder how you would do this in Exchange 2000.
