I went through this with an "orders" address. I eventually ended up creating a 
separate mailbox with the orders address, then having our customer service 
people open that mailbox within Outlook. Not only does this mean that when they 
reply to or compose a message, it comes from the orders address, but it also 
keeps all the mail in one place and not being delivered to everyone's mailboxes 
separately, like a DL does.



I also have every Cc orders when they email, so we see outgoing mail as well as 
incoming in the Inbox.



Works for us :)

Subject: Can I change the "from" to a group?

I've created a new distribution group called quotes.

Now I've been asked that when a user replies to an email originally sent to the 
group, the "from" address would be the group address. Otherwise, the "from" 
would be the user's address.

I've come up with can only be considered an ugly hack. When our quoters reply 
to an email, the group display name should be in the text. My idea is a 
transport rule scanning outbounds for that text and prepending something to the 
subject. Then a second transport rule watches for "RE:prepend" in the subject 
of inbound mail and routes that to the group. This configuration doesn't 
specifically meet the request, but it fits the desired outcome of getting 
further replies going to the group.

Anyone know a better way?

(I'm thinking there has to be one)  :)
