Okay, let me get this straight I think there is a problem with terminology between us, mostly on my behalf because I'm a little bit thick, but bear with me as I think I have it slightly sussed.
Policy applies to = Filter Rules. i.e. in my default policy I have (mailnickname=*). Therefore what lies beneath that policy applies to everyone with a nickname that matches the criteria *, therefore everybody. So the email addresses in this policy is @interserveis.co.uk because our domain is interserveis.co.uk. As the filter rules match everyone the policy should be applied to everyone, therefore receiving an interserveis.co.uk email address. Now, the second policy that I have made, the filter rules for this are Blank, so I'm guessing that there is no match and the policy applies to nobody? Under this policy I have created the legacy domain names @kwikform.co.uk and @ukconstruction.co.uk. This is all working as I wanted it too now, when I create a new user they only receive a @interserveis.co.uk email addy and all kwikform/ukconstruction email addys we create are routing fine and none existent emails are being bounced. However, this still doesn't explain to me why every single email address from my entire organisation was deleted, I'm also scared to change anything again in case it resets them again. To get them back I simply changed the @interserveis.co.uk policy to @interserveis1.co.uk, set it back again and when it asked to update I said yes. That method has not allowed for all the none standard email addresses we had nore any of the kwikform ones that were setup. Perhaps you can comment on my methods and ensure that I am doing correctly? -----Original Message----- From: Tom Meunier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 June 2003 12:34 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Multiple domains. Because you made a policy that actually applied to "EVERY single recipient" that told it to do that. Any new policy you make will be assigned a higher priority than your default policy, and will overwrite it for the recipients that the query that it's based upon (General screen, Modify, Find Now) applies to. Make one recipient policy. Add all the proper addresses. Apply it to nobody. And check (general > modify > find now) that it applies to nobody. -----Original Message----- > From: Neil Doody [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Posted At: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 2:37 AM > Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List > Conversation: Multiple domains. > Subject: RE: Multiple domains. > > > Absolute madness last night. > > I was making the new policys which include the legacy domain > names, some how EVERY single email address for EVERY single > recipient in the whole organisation had there email address > wiped, all that remained was the X400 addresses. > > > What gives? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
