Chris, Thank you so much for that reply. Yes, you hit it on the head as to what I am trying to do - this person needs multiple "from" addresses, and he needs the ability to select them from the drop down inside of Outlook.
I am not familiar with the method you talked about. Can you walk me through the process of creating hidden mailboxes, and the rest of that process you mentioned? Thanks very much - I would greatly appreciate it.
